727 return line leak at tranny fitting

Thanks scatpactbee, I ordered two aluminum and two copper. $1.75 each. Hopefully one of these will work. Now I'm fighting trying to get my steering box out that crapped out on me last week. No fun looks like I'm going to have to pull the exhaust manifold to get it out.:wtf:

Just to give a little update on my leaky fitting issue. I ordered two OEM return line fitting and received them today. I compared them to the ones I bought at NAPA. No comparison the OEM fittings are a 1/8 inch longer. The thread end that goes into the case is longer, the conical end looks to be the same angle but the angle is longer. Without a comparator I really can't tell if the angle is the same but the angle is definitely a little bit longer on the OEM fittings. The nut on the OEM is also larger it's 9/16 instead of a 1/2 inch on the NAPA fittings. The seals I ordered will be here tomorrow and I'm going to wait till tomorrow to put it back together. Stay tuned ! I did get my steering box out, didn't have to remove the exhaust manifolds, ended up dropping the exhaust pipe on that side and with a little wiggle she fell right out.
