2001 F350 bottom radiator leak

On the passengers use of the bottom of the radiator. There’s a hard line that threads into a large fitting (nut is bigger then 1”) it is loose and leaking fluid. Does anyone know what size it is?

Don't know the size, but a Cresent wrench will work, don't over tighten it.

figured one would just wanted to make sure not to slip lol. Is it common for this to happen and/or why or how? I’ve had a few 7.3s and only issue I had happen was a 6” crack on top of the radiator.
