I had the grill out to grease the steering column things. I felt a little whisp on my hand. It was the T that connects the air pump switch to the red line as it runs aft. While the tubing color did change, the fact that it was a swage fitting makes me believe that it is OE.
The body of the T was cracked. I was able to split the aluminum swage rings and remove it without damaging the nylon tubing.
Based on the diagrams (this fitting is not there), there should be at least two more of these. After Shawnee, I am going to locate them and replace them.
