Default Need help please, A&A drain line

How can I make or duplicate one of these? The nearest place that has AN fittings is closed Mondays. Looks like some sorta barbed swivel fitting. I'm trying to fix an oil leak and replacing any possibilities. I've yanked on that line real hard before.

Could I possibly use a barbed brass fitting from Lowes? Any suggestions would help including sizes, thanks.

Also, if it is leaking it's not from the hose but from the part on that fitting that rotates. That hose is on super tight. Just a suspicion but there is some oil in the crevices of that fitting. Cheap enough to just replace and not wonder if that's a possibility.

have you tried loosening the connection and make sure the line is not in a bind?... if you don't get them together perfectly on the mating surfaces you will have hell getting it to seal

Well the drain line fitting can rotate 360*. It's not in a bind. Maybe I'm not understanding the question though, but the drain line is not bound up.

Did it the easy way, quick call to A&A and they're sending me out a new drain line and fitting. Didn't even leave the house.
