If your talking about the fittings going into the rad for the lines you could try teflon paste used in plumbing connections.

I would, like warthog said, try plumbers teflon paste or tape.

There are a couple of articles in the DIY section that explain how to fix them so they won't leak.... ever again. It involves modifying your original lines. The cost is less than new oil lines. Without the oil cooler, oil pressure to the engine drops due to less restriction, and the oil gets too hot. New lines are cheaper than a new engine

Default Same truck....same problem!

The problem seems to be the "correct" installation of those stupid wire clips. I attached the line, then shoved the clip on....which apparently is wrong...and repeatedly removing them ruins them. So, tomorrow I'll go get some new clips, put them on first by sliding one end in a slot then running your thumb around to coax the rest into their slots. Then attach the hose until you hear a click. In theory, should be good to go. If this doesn't fix it, just going to replace the connectors on the radiator.
