-AN fitting question I am using summit racing 6an steel braided lines on my transmission cooler set up. I assembled the lines and fluid cooler to flush the system. I used kooler kleen. during the flush, the fittings became frosty cold (expeected). The 90 degree swivel ends started to seep fluid. Is that to be expected when the fittings gets that cold? The summit racing tech guy said to use the fittings because he did not think that would be an issue. I like second and even third opinions. Here is a pic of where it leaked. The swivel end is designed to move when the hose is assembled. Only the swivel ends leaked. All of the straight hose ends did not because they use compression to stay sealed.
I have used quite a few summit fittings not had one leak but did have some 4-5 years ago that once I tightned them on the fitting they deformed enough that they would not unscrew off the fitting easy.
I would recheck them at room temp.

A friend said it might have been the gas in liquid form since it did not appear until the fittings were frosty.
thanks for your advice and experiences!
