Why is there so much leaking around the quick connects? How to change your O Rings

[0:00] alright guys what to do if you notice that you've got a lot of leaking going on a lot of times it'll happen right where you got two hoses connected this has a hundred feet or I'm sorry 50 feet 1/2 inch hose and then it's got a 150 feet of 3/8 hose and then we use the heat a lot so it causes these o-rings to go out pretty quickly so if you look and you see these connections and there's a
