It looks like at least one of the couplers on my rear manifold is leaking. The 3 pairs are Pioneer style quick connects.
It has been difficult to isolate which one is. A dry paper towel shows some small amount of fluid at each connection. I have operated each circuit and can't see anything dripping. Yet there is a small spot (4x10 inches) on the floor.
If I pull them apart and reconnect of there is a small amount of leakage. So I want to try spraying them when apart. The question is with what? WD40? Brake cleaner? Something else?

FYI you can change the "O" rings in the pioneer couplers easily. Just use a small curved pick to remove the rubber o ring from the female connector and replace.
