Ron, here is a photo of one. The bolt is hollow with two holes in its
stem. The external fitting is a circle fitting which has a passage around
the bolt so the liquid can flow from it into the hollow stem of the bolt
through both holes and into the block or whatever. Its advantages are that
it is somewhat more compact than most fittings and can be put into tight
spaces. Also it is somewhat more resistant to the effects of vibration.
The down side is that it is more restrictive to flow than straight in
fittings - and can be very hard to find as they are generally specially made
for a specific application.

are more restrictive to flow than straight-in fittings - which comes as no
great surprise. FWIW I would look to replace it. Here are a few of the
URLs I have that have fittings, one may have something like what you need.
