Heater core fitting leaking

I have been having a leak by my gas pedal and I took off the kick panel and noticed that the lower heater hose is leaking at the O ring going into the heater core. Should I replace the O ring or put some radiator sealant in?

Replace the o ring and get the mounting set comes with it and it will make sure that the plastic is seated and not cracked. 64113422668

Do NOT put sealer in the cooling system. It just plugs things up and makes things worse.

Replace the seals and plastic clips it's pretty easy job, just drain the coolant so you don't get it all in the carpet.
We got the seal kits
