Hpop line fitting that's screwed into right side head is leaking around the threads. Is there a o ring on that or thread sealer. If so what sealer do you use on it? Also can you unscrew it with out removing the line?

Has o-ring.

No, line must come off. Unless you want to spin it and possibly ruin the internal o-ring. If not, remove line first.

Fitting has o-ring on it and inside it

Line has no o ring.

Need a quick release tool to pop the line off and then pull fitting out. Try to get some of the oil out of the hole and clean the threads up the best you can with a clean rag and brake cleaner. Put a small dab of green locktight on the fitting after you put the replacement oring on it and torque it to spec. Let it sit for 4-6 hrs and then put it back together and fire it up.
