[QUOTE="jcstockdale, post: 447384, member: 29104"] Thanks Phil. I haven't touched it for a couple of days because the leak is so slow. I was planning to first see if there's any room to tighten it up and see if that helps. After that, I will see about joint paste. I definitely have the tape wrapped the right way. I wrapped it the wrong way once and it was really obvious that it was coming off. At least I haven't made that mistake again! Regarding the brass fittings, I've heard that they are relatively soft so I'm just wondering, if it's the case that one has been overtightened, does that mean that it's permanenty damaged and needs to be replaced or can you just undo it and reapply tape / paste? Thanks again, James. [/QUOTE]
