I think the hose barb to the AN is what is leaking. The screw with the Allen head was a bit loose so I just made that snug. What wrenches do I need?  Is there a special way to tighten it?

You really should use AN wrenches, they are made of aluminum. They should be installed with a touch of oil, motor oil is fine, I like to use Teflon paste. I like the paste because it seals out moisture and keeps them from corroding. These gall very easily.

You mean put oil on the threads and then paste?  Where do I get the paste?

Loctite 565 is what I use... It's quite spendy to be honest. Oil "or" paste, you don't need both.

That hole is for a gauge. FYI  :sly:

Was wondering what it was for. Where do I get that lock tight?  If I out a gauge in there should I use lock tight or paste?

There's always oil, just saying but it's really easy to gall the threads.
