Recheck your fittings & hoses. Apply some yellow teflon tape just in case.

If your rubber hoses are hard, replace them.
I've got a similar problem, which I've also had in the past with my compression fittings. I've not tried the yellow teflon tape before, is that a common fix for sealing these compression fittings?

I was thinking about trying some of the blue locktite I have. Is that an acceptable option?
