Put some dish soap on the fitting. Some pipe thread compounds will cause a false reading on leak detectors. If you don't see small bubbles forming with the dish soap, you probably don't have a leak.
That steel fitting should be a standard 1/2 male pipe thread to 1/2" flare fitting. If you question the fitting at all, you can easily replace the fitting and reuse the hose.
