quick disconnect heater hoses

[melmount]

It appears I have a small leak where the heater hose quick disconnect to the heater core at the firewall is.
I get the plastic clips yu press to pull out the hose but is there an Oring in there somewhere? What seals it? I guess it could also be wherfe the metal is crimped to the hose? Anyone experience this?

I just posted about this. Mine leaked as well. There is a plastic ring as well as an o-ring. You can buy new quick connects from Rockauto.com for 15$ or you can do like I did and get 5/8" barbs, heater hose and hose clamps and never worry about them leaking again.

will the new 5/8 quick disconnects come with the 0-ring? Are they both 5/8 or is one 3/4?
Des it need o be special for ford or are all the heater hopse connects the same for chevys too? Loal part store has them but not sure if they are the same?

yes will come with new o rings. Both are 5/8. Not sure about the chevy ones.
