Where is it leaking from? If its an o ring dab a light coating of vasaline or cooking oil on your finger and wipe it around the o ring to help it seal. If its from a 1/4 speed fitting pull the tubing out, re cut it squarely and re insert it. Other than that I don't know.

We don't recommend using vasoline on rubber orings. Instead, use silicone grease available at your local hardware or pool supply store.

Food grade Silicone Grease is all I ever use but most people don't have any around. I just happen to have it for my homebrewing equipment and keg o rings!
