my heating pipe at the manifold on my vaillant 837 is leaking.

i've tightened it but still drps a bit

can i use ptfe tape or use something else?
 
It depends on the seal type. If it's a fibre washer replace the washer. If it's an olive try wrapping 2 or 3 turns of PTFE around the olive. Sometimes the olive has been overtightened to the extent the copper/olive will require replacing.
