Finally got my newly installed motor up and running.
For my first phase of troubleshooting, I need to rid myself of all leaks. So far, I have no oil leaks
. But I do have a fuel leak and hydraulic leaks, and they are all at the darn quick connect links.
The fuel is leaking from the fuel rail to fuel line quick connect here:

I read a thread where it stated that you either have to replace the whole rail (not happening) or cut the connect off and put a new fitting on. Does anyone have any other methods to suggest?
Both the quick connect fittings for the hoses that connect to the power steering cooler are leaking:

I also have a persistent exhaust camshaft code that comes back even after changing the camshaft sensor out.. This is the bank 2 sensor:

Finally, I am looking for what sensor goes here on this hanging connector in the passenger wheel well as I have been unable to locate it via realoem:

Ideally, I'd like to repair the lines to be fit for use as they are quite expensive. The one on the drivers side will be QUITE a bit of work to get installed as well. I definitely do not wish to unbolt the engine and hoist it again..
Thanks in advance!

BUMP
About to pull the trigger on these hoses but the return hose is really expensive ($200) and seems like a slight waste as the hose itself is not leaking, only the quick disconnect fitting..
