I had to take the cooler back off to get the angle right, tighten them up to snug, and then remount the cooler and then tighten the fittings.
At first I had a slow seep of oil when the engine was running. I ended up cleaning the area, and tightened more, and then put on temporary "diapers" of a folded paper towel zipped tied into place. When I saw it was just one of the connections still seeping, the paper towel made it clear which one it was. I finally got it tight enough to not leak anymore. Then I removed the paper towels.
I presume you are replacing all the rubber hoses with new ones.
Porsche painted the brass tubes to protect them. Are you going to paint them before reassembly?

I will definitely keep that in mind when it’s time to reassemble.
Yes replacing all the rubber hose and keeping the hard lines brass.
Thank you
