Default Rack Piston Fittings

I hope someone can help me out...
I have a leaking flare fitting on a pressure line down on the rack tube. If I can't get it to stop I found FLARETITE, they're washer like gizmos to seal it up.
I need to know the fitting type. I think it might be a JIC -04.
Hopefully someone knows

Thanks,

JS

Those lines should have O-rings on them. Do they?

Thanks for the answer.
I have o-rings on the lines to and from the pump and they aren't leaking. The problem child is down on the rack tube. The left and right pressure and return lines to the piston.
They're some type flare fittings. The lines look like 1/4 steel.
I need to know if the flare is 37 or 45 degrees so I can get the right FLARETITE.
