Despite being made in the US, to get those three parts to mate correctly it took me and the counter dude ten minutes and opening fourteen boxes before finally achieving success.

All of the heater hoses by the firewall have all been replaced. I installed new ones when I was swapping engines. I had to replace one of those hoses on my original engine and it was an absolute nightmare to get them on/off which is why I just put all new ones on the donor engine.
It's definitely leaking from the valve, specifically, from where the valve pivots . That is where the first aftermarket one leaked also.
I'm going to check out this partsoq thing, $60 is a little easier to swallow.
