What would be the best way of fixing this leak it doesn't drip just builds up like that after a day of the water being on. Thanks. Guessing it's on where the olive meets the pipe and the nut as opposed to the olive and valve body.

Paste/jointing compound on the olive should do the job. Just make sure its suitable for potable water.

Well it did seem to nip up 1/8 of a turn or so and isn't leaking now. Worth leaving alone? Is bottom of the system so a full drain down to paste etc.
 
I was going to ask him how long he had had the leak. In his shoes I might have been tempted to follow that advice without any tweaking - small weeps like that can seal themselves.
