    Hello, need some advice on a 3an line connector thats leaking behind the swivel mount. I have drawn a arrow on the photo showing the location of the oil leak. Can I fix this? if so what do you recommend as far a methods.
    Thanks

    Is it leaking just after the tightening nut or on the hose side? If its after the nut it may have not been tight enough. my -4 fitting for my turbo feed leaked a bit there and I had to really crank it tight untill it stopped leaking. If its on the hose side you could cut it off and use a pushloc fitting to repair it

    might cut off the crimp fitting and use an aeroquip fitting

    Why not just replace the hose? I wouldn't wanna "fix" a crimped hose
