I might be headed through nashville today ill pm you my number, call me and we can get this leak figured out

If you cannot find someone to come over, go get a tube of epoxy from the critter and seal around the fitting. I have done that before and it solved the issue for a temporary fix.

Chen, is it leaking around the outside of the fitting? was the nut loosened on it?

 

[pelagic7]

It's around the fitting I think. tkimmons85 is coming w/ some tools, I hope we can get it fixed.

My Fingers hurt after 3 hours of trying to fix it.

Good luck. if you twisted it, most likely you kinked the rubber ring between it and the glass. once you get it out, rub some silicone lube on it before you reassemble it.

You most likely just broke the nut loose by moving it, Just try and tighten it by turning the pipe clockwise and holding the nut. This will work if that is what happened, Do you have a Bulkhead wrench? You may need one I'll look and see if i have mine as i lend it out and don't remember to who.

WhAT was wrong with it.

 

[pelagic7]

It was just too loose, and he tied it up w/ the tool.

 

[tkimmons85]

Not a problem, glad I could help.
