Did you try tightening the hose clamp down there?

are you sure the hose isn't split or the hose clamp isn't loose? mine was leaking at the same place and it looked like it was coming from the fitting, but my hose was split open on the backside where i couldn't see it... oh and 7/8" oil hose is a little harder to find.

I think that fitting is pressed into the block from what i've heard?

That is correct. It's simply a single piece, thinwall steel tube, press-fit into the block. (And that boy's in there like a hair in a biscuit).
