Oil leak

[Phil Gti 8]

Finally got my engine running, up to temp, levels all good after fixing a few leaks and all good apart from a new leak!

 

It is coming from where the oil hose connects to the oil cooler, I have attached a photo. I pulled the hose away from the cooler and it is leaking where they meet. 

Should there be an O-ring between the two?

Can't remember , think it's compression fitting on the hard lines to the cooler ..

 

Take it of and have look if it's a cone shape joint or there's an step on the pipe end for the O-ring ... either way can apply some pipe thread sealant and be done with it , Erling Curil K2 liquid sealant works really good for such oil , pressure and coolant leaks .
