Oil cooler line reconnection question...?

I finally got my motor back in and started... but as soon as it built up pressure it popped off and lost most of my oil... can't get the damn thing to seat properly so I can put the c-clip back on... how to? I saw that they are quick disconnect but I removed them by unscrewing them... Help...want to get car back on the road!!!
Thanks,
Ryker

These are the lines that connect under the radiator... not on the back of the cooler.

You might have to wiggle it pretty good while trying to press them together.. I know that sometimes they LOOK connected but arent.. Another alternative is to just build braided lines.. A little costly, but eliminates points of failure like those connectors. Good luck.

Yep. With the clip already in there they will "click" together once you seat them.
