Had a similar headache last month... spent ages tightening fittings only to realize the leak was actually from a tiny crack in the pipe itself. If checking fittings doesn't solve it, try drying everything thoroughly, then wrap some paper towels around suspect areas. Let it sit for a bit, and you'll see exactly where the moisture starts to show. Saves you from guessing and replacing stuff unnecessarily. Good luck, leaks can be sneaky.

Yep, seen this happen more times than I can count. Those hairline cracks can be sneaky little devils... Another quick tip: sometimes shining a flashlight along the pipe helps highlight tiny drips you might otherwise miss. Good luck!
Been there myself, spent half a Saturday chasing down a leak that ended up being a tiny crack hidden behind the pipe bend. Definitely frustrating, but at least now you know exactly what's going on—should be smoother sailing from here... Hang in there.
- Had a similar issue last summer... turned out it wasn't even the pipe itself but the seal on the connector.
- Did you double-check all the fittings and washers? Sometimes it's the sneaky stuff you'd never suspect.
- Anyway, glad you're sorted—plumbing is a special kind of weekend torture, lol.
Had something similar happen a while back—thought I'd have to replace the whole pipe, but it was just a worn-out washer. Honestly, spending a few bucks on new washers and seals every couple years saves a ton of headaches later... cheap insurance against leaks.
