Has anyone had sealing issues at the rack fittings using the Breeze hose kit when stacking an O-ring with a Dowty seal?
I recently swapped my PS pump and replaced the donor lines (which were not leaking) to clean up routing. The new pump is much quieter, but now both rack fittings are consistently weeping. Not a heavy leak, but noticeable during the bleed process (haven’t driven it yet).
Details:
• Mustang rack with a small chamfer on both ports
• Verified fitment with O-ring only — fitting does bottom out
• Installed per instructions: O-ring first, then Dowty seal
• Lubed everything during assembly
Issue:
• Immediate weeping from both fittings
• Disassembled multiple times — seals look undamaged
• Mark sent replacement seals — same result
A mechanic I work with thinks it’ll only get worse. A local builder suggested the stacked seal approach itself may be the issue.
Looking to see:
• Has anyone else experienced this?
• Did you stick with the stacked seals or change setup?
• What actually fixed it?
Trying to avoid chasing this further if there’s a known solution.
I thought you were supposed to use one or the other, but not both, depending on whether you had a chamfer or not. It's been a while so can't recall. I didn't have any issues with the Breeze kit. In fact, those fittings were much easier to work with than some of the others I tried. I think they may be Aeroquip fittings, but not sure. High quality stuff.
