Possibly the tubing flair is a bit short when you flared it, or it split?
( I don't know your expertise/experience)
Don't accept failure too easily.
Regarding my 'expertise', it is a real possibility that I simply forgot to tighten them when it went back together and they are only started. So expertise wise, it could be even the most basic of problems (like forgetting to plug in an electrical appliance then wondering why it doesnt work!)



Just saying anything is possible. I will get them to stop leaking. I work slow, but get there eventually. And do appreciate all the great inputs and encouragement from this site.
