quit jacking off into your engine bay

also, i dont think those are welded, not on mine atleast. they are flared into the "peanut" and have a sealing washer

Sorry bro this 6.0 gets me stiff. Your right it is press fit hang on I'll get a picture of the crack.

Bring it to @randeez to weld that tube solid.

This is making me want a tig machine.

That aluminum block isn't welded to the tubing...its pushed thru and a flat bubble flare is put on it. A gasketed washer should be making the seal.

I guess it's possible that the tubing is damaged and leaking still. But you can actually spin those aluminum blocks on the tubing

I definitely don't think I could spin it, I see what your saying tho, I will try to spin the "bad one" tomorrow and report back. I guess I'd feel pretty dumb if your right and I keep replacing the hose. It's just only coming from the base of the tube not anywhere else around the seal which was throwing me off. Also not using Delco parts so I kinda assumed bad quality China parts.
