Don't know why the boys assembled like that unless the two fittings had burrs or nicks on the seal surface. In that case, new fittings should have been used. (expensive and a PIA) The seal is made by the male/female ball and cone. When opened, those threads of teflon are tough to keep from getting into the
oil system.
Racers and dyno operators never use tape or paste sealants due to the frequency of R & R of the parts. As Bob says, a little antiseize or even light
oil is preferred.
