On later engines 78 on, that fitting comes sealed with green Loctite. The thread locker acts as a sealant. You would think that the aluminum seal would be enough but the factory felt green Loctite was needed.
Be cautious about over tightening the fitting. I have seen more than one boss cracked and even broken off from over tightening.
