Default Greddy Oil Feed leaking

I remember installing it, it never felt like is secured on the engine that well. It seems to be leaking quite a bit on the engine side.

What type/size is it and where would I get a replacement?

Cheers, Jon

Thanks. I did search... It would probably help if I understood all the specs.

Taking off the line, cleaning the ends, and reseating everything seemed to fix the leak. I'm not sure why. Perhaps some grit between the ball and the fitting?

Cheers, Jon
