Hi all,

My understanding of compression fittings is as the nut compresses the
"olive" the greater the seal, correct?

So, if a new compression fitting is leaking then I should be able to simply
tighten more to seal?  Or is there something else here? Do I use some kind
of sealent?  That doesn't seem right to me.

To a point.  After a while, things start breaking.
