drip from radiator fitting

kez1 · 2 Oct 2017

Hi

Photos show there is no slack on the compression fitting to allow me to get any ptfe tape on.
Because it's not possible to move the compression nut back so that it exposes the olive.
What can I do?

why do you think that you need to put PTFE on it ?

Just tighter then?

kez, you shouldn't need to use any tape on it, hence @ianmcd 's question. If it won't stop dripping though then the little of the olive you can see in 1st pic, cover in a couple if wraps of tape, that should be enough.
