that was my thought too, i pulled the fitting and line tonight and it looks like the threads on the female end are pretty busted up to about halfway through. the threads on the fitting aren't that bad, except at the end (closest to the base of the fitting)

I'm trying not to think about that...
What are your thoughts on some sort of short term patch? say RTV, jbweld, or a combo of the two??
Thanks for your input.
