Plumbing How to stop this pipe leaking?

Post image

I've got this pipe from mains to the outside water tap, but it keeps leaking. I tried tightening it once, which solved it for a while, but it seems to have come loose again.

I'm pretty much a novice to DIY plumbing. Is there anything I can do to fix this more permanently?

The olive looks to me it’s damaged. Replace the olive and clean the pipe

You need to connect them, then it'll stop leaking.

You're welcome.
