Zach,

I didn't read Scott's entire post - however I think from previous readings
from him he does suggest replacing the entire length of hose from filter to
the "t" in the engine compartment. This eliminates another connection and
another possible place for a leak.

However, if that isn't an option right now you could put a connector in
there - I used a properly sized brass plumbing connector - barbed at both
ends - and clamped it down with some good clamps on my old '90.

Good Luck with your repair.
