If you are talking about the quick disconnect i remember having to use them on the fuel lines when i put another motor in a 03 Mach 1 I think i remember putting it on the line at the pressure regulator and squezzed it till no tommorow and it came off

Okay so here is the update. the passenger side head had three cylinders where the gasket was blown?? Is that common.. kinda seems extreme to me.. there was a header bolt missing and the header was not tightend to the H pipe very well and there was a leak there, think that may have caused this??

You found the coolant leak Looks to me it may have been a bad gasket seal, bad gasket, or improper torque
