Ok guys, the history is originally we used Swagelock, Scott is correct that they did not passivate the knob so there were issues with discoloration. Swage did not want to passivate so we switched to Hylock. These worked well but they were not able to deliver the parts (5 month backlog!!) we recently developed our own passivation process and switched back to swagelock. The parts that Tibby is having issues with are Hylock.

Thanks Jerry, I apreciate the post and clarification on the part's history. I am now confident ISC will look into this issue and soon fix it. I promised I will try to duplicate and document the behaviour but failed to do it properly. All I can tell so far with confidence is that my connector leaks when exposed to temperatures between 15 to 8 deg F but I don't know when (what temp) it actually starts or stops leaking.
I really don't think the brand is that important (although I come across that way in my previous post) as long as it doesn't leak. I should know better than commenting about things before having all the facts.
