You've got to be kidding. That's a crappy break
The only time I had a leak was when I tried to align something and twisted back in the opposite direction
Hope you can easily solve it

Wow! What a frustration that would be! Do you know which joint is it leaking from? And what would be the cause of it?

The first ones were from not using teflon tape on a threaded joint the it turned into over tightening said joint this last time I think a small shaving of pvc is under the new bulkhead. Completely user error.

I hate plumbing in general but tank plumbing is a completely new level of hate!
