When you order the Tymar HPX line do you get the fitting to change the line you have to move?

I put in my HPX and shortly thereafter I found a leak from the HP oil line going into the rear pass side head.
I wonder if the increase in pressure caused this?
Look out.

Made mine from adaptpors and hose and fittings in stock. the adaptors I used were
#5 ORB to #6 JIC (5/16" straight thread to 3/8" JIC flair ) to conect to the hose couplers. They cost about $1.50 ea. Then I made a hose assembly with a 90 deg jic fitting on one end and a straight fitting on the other end. Cost under $10 for the works. Oh and the working preasure for the hose assembly is 4800 psi and a burst preasure about 18,000 psi.
Regular checks to make sure everything is good is just part of my routine.
