    Receiver/dryer, but the fittings are certainly not OEM.
    I would guess that someone got sick of paying Freightliner prices, so adapted one from something else to work on it.
    Does it leak at all? If not, then get part numbers from the dryer and get one the same when the time comes.

    Quick connect fittings, could be oem. See if the new receiver/dryer has the Q/C fittings on it, or you may have to reuse those, or convert to traditional fittings if those aren't oem.

    It look's oily. Maybe you can put some thread sealer on those fittings? Did you find the source of the leak?

    I have never seen them on a receiver/dryer myself before.

    Me either trying to diagnose over the phone from 1100 miles away LOL the quick connects threw me 2. I talked to my mechanic this morning and he says that when the epa forced everyone to convert from R-22 to R34 there was compressors imploding and most of the smaller parts and contaminants ended up in the receiver dryer, and when you tried to replace it, the high pressure line would usually twist and collapse.

    Alot of KW's came with quick connect fittings on the drier. Just another place to leak in my opinion.
