That makes sense. It's really tough to tell where the leak is coming from because it's a very slow leak. It's kinda like having a plumbing leak under your sink, only you get one drip of water every 30 seconds, and you're checking every nut in the p-trap because it could be any one of them. I have tried watching it while it runs, but it doesn't show up. I think I will just replace the compression nut and clip the line back a bit and try again. If that doesn't fix it, probably a new gauge?

You may have to cut a 3/8" or so off the end of the tube. Before you put your new compression fitting on. Someone may have really reefed on it in the past and distorted the tube. Did that to myself many moons ago.
