I'm pretty sure it's the "O" rings.  The hose seems dry above the Banjo
joint.  Any idea what the torque should be?

The only one of my V8's that does not leak Pentosin (or some equivalent) =
is

the one that has nasty rattly noises from the timing belt or valvetrain =
and

is awaiting a 4.2 engine swap.  That also happens to be the only one =
with

working cruise control and a hitch.



If the leak is from the banjo bolt, then try the new o-rings and torque =
it

properly.  If it is fromt he hose end where the crimp is, try Mobil 1

Synthetic ATF.  In some cases it causes the rubber to swell slightly and

stop or drastically slow the leak. =20
