I have just fitted a new radiator and have wrapped up to 8 turns of PTFE tape around the tail and tightened it with a radiator spanner, but it still seems to have a sloww leak. Any suggestions? How many turns of PTFE can I use? Woulud more help? Is the radiator or valve tail likely to be faulty?

Cheers
 
Use some of the thicker gas PTFE tape. the yellow ones.
