no recalls on it so it isnt a common problem witih the vehicle.

you could use sealant to seal it, but the proper way to do it is to put on a new quick connector or to have a shop put on a threaded line.

The quick connect fittings are inexpensive and easy to change. You can get them at the dealer.
