Is the tubing pushed all the way into the fitting ? You must use teflon on all threaded joints.

Tubes are pushed all the way down, I now use teflon on all threaded joints, no more leaks, exception I broke one the elbow connector by turning it too hard

I snapped 2 fittings in the process because I tried to skimp on the tape, and my only issue with the fittings is they use metric fittings, which aren't so readily available at your local hardware store.
Don't feel too bad!
