Clean that up real good as it's supposed to mate with an identical recess within the pump connection. Not abrasive or anything but just make sure there's nothing on it. Use a scotch brite pad or sandpaper in >800 grit.You will need a new white teflon o-ring which might've been the cause of the leak to begin with. You can't over-tighten those (not a lot of grunt is needed when cinching those connections down). You want to get the right replacement teflon o-ring, and it should be damn near impossible to get on the threads without first putting it in boiling water for a few minutes. I use curved picks to just dip the ring in the water and hold it there, or  maybe a small flat tip.Then you'd take the big feed or supply line off the pump (grab a bucket and some towels) to drain the pump overnight and let the connection you care about be free of ATF so you can clean it and make sure it's dry so that thread sealant can actually adhere when you put a little bit of it on the hardline connection.These things always leak when over-tightened. The teflon o-ring is brittle and can easily crack or split.</blockquote>
