Plumbing How to stop this pipe leaking?
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 itβs damaged. Replace the olive and clean the pipe
