  When they went to the recirculation temp valve (the 
white plastic thing that makes air leaks, or it's o-ring) they 
went to a crimped clear hose fitting.  From the filter it's 
hose, crimp, clear, crimp, hose, banjo fitting.  The crimps 
are prone to air leaks as well as the o-ring and the plastic 
thingy itself.
