If you wrap some kitchen roll around the pipe and leave a gap above the nut …if the paper gets wet the water is condensate or leak above, if paper stays dry it must be from the nut or olive.

Over tightened olives are difficult to seal because the pipe may have collapsed or even split under the olive.

If it’s not split or broken completely then jointing paste can work when PTFE wont
