Damn, this car is a BEAST to drive w/o PS. Love that pump for still working fine after running dry so long...
So. I'm a retard. When I finally started poking at it, that fitting spun right off in my fingers. I'll have to check it more often in the future. Once apart it was clearly not a real flare fitting at all, but similar to the motor oil cooler lines where they attach to the filter housing; I'll bet the same O-ring works in both locations. This one wasn't hard yet, but definitely compressed/reshaped into its installed niche, so I took it off, flipped it for better contact, and retightened the fitting, which has had everything working like a charm around town this evening. Of course the real test will be the next time I drive over 200 miles at a stretch, but I'm reasonably optimistic, and will have new O-rings on hand by then.
