I would re-tape, may not have used enough, if you haven't got any, you could get some from B and Q plumbing dept now.

Probably just not tightened. When we buy them in they are never tightened up.

I bought a crap batch of Q/Cs last year, all the females leaked, like the spring inside was not closing off the pin so allowing solution to still flow through.

might be the same, just connect the hose without a tool fitted and turn on the pump.....you will soon see where it is leaking
