The pressure lines are fittings both ends, low pressure return lines are fitting one end only. Google just brought up hundreds of options. Just have to confirm your engine type and make sure it's the same hose. No o-rings on the fittings. They are contact sealing with the fittings. You could try backing it off slightly then tightening again a few times to see if you get it to reseal.
