Correct. There is a crush washer on the top and bottom of each banjo fitting. There are 2 banjo fittings; one for the pressure and one for the return line.

So I went to HDR ( Home Depot Racing ) and grabbed some neoprene washers and put them on

tested it all day today works like a charm
drove about 50 miles and made as many turns as possible
No leaks

just gotta work the air out the system and top it off now
