I can't get this to stop leaking on my air compressor. It has a nut which threadfs on some kind of bolt that is square with threads on the corners only. And then the solid line fitting screws into it. It is leaking from the square bolt? I tried to tighten it, plumbers tape , etc. Does anybody know if there needs to be some sort of seal in there.

Thanks in advance if anybody knows how to fix it. It is annoying as hell and leaks constantly.

Replace that fitting with new parts... can get all that stuff at Lowe's, ACE, etc.

Like Nate said get new fittings and don't forget to use teflon tape on all the threads or you'll be back where you started with a leak.
