Compression fittings are often the ones to bite you. The tubing needs to be de-burred and completely clean and round. Sometimes it will get dinged or flat-spotted and won't seal. Once you are sure the tubing is clean, Use a fresh ferrule, bottom the tubing into your threaded fitting, lube the threads with a little silicone lube, and then hand-tight plus 1.5-2 turns. No teflon tape or sealant is needed if the tubing is clean and round because the ferrule makes the seal..
