Yep I agree it needs the metric o-ring hoses. That picture does not look what I took out, my yellow thing had no threads. The pump I had used flared fitting on both ports, so I am changing that to metric o-ring type too. Man, I should have just lived with the leaking box, LOL.
Thanks for your help.
