3/8 Push Fittings
#5

Clean the threads, reseal using either teflon tape or teflon goo then reinstall the fitting and tubing. But if you have a compression fitting I'd use that.
Also that black tubing on the left side of your first picture looks like it is in a bind. You might try to either extend the tubing to get some strain relief where it goes into the fitting or rotate that fitting a bit so it is in line with the tubing.

I'll take a look at those threads and thank you for the tip on that other 1/4 tubing.  It for sure needs to be longer and since it as not leaking this fool wouldn't have thought of giving it a little relief. I should have also taken a better picture of the yellow with the push fittings right after I soaped it up as there was definitely a significant leak a the push fitting so I'll be swapping those out to compression.
