Leaking connector near pump
« on: February 28, 2013, 12:20:00 pm »
Hi all, I have a leak from a connector (as pictured on the following link as its not letting me upload pics here) http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=whzhpl&s=6
The arrows point to the connector I refer to. I have disconnected it from the blue elbow connector above it but it does not appear to unscrew or pull out from the black piece under it, just spins.
I re-connected it back together and wrapped as much PTFE tape as I could around it but still there is a slight drip.
Any suggestions to what I can try.
Thanks
Paul

Looks cross threaded to me.

Definitely looks cross threaded.

Thanks for the replies.
Guess I'll have to replace it and tape it some more in the meantime.
