Where is it leaking from? A few drops of oil into the ASA can work wonders on minor leaks.

So go down to the hardware store and get a roll of thread selant or teflon tape. About a buck.

Use a wrench, seperate the 2 fittings that are leaking. Rip off about an inch of teflon tape, fold it in half lenghtwise and wrap it around the threads CLOCKWISE. Thread them back together, tighten, finish.

Problem solved with about $1 and you learned something.

Air fittings expected to operate under 800psi + tend to be tight to eliminate leaking.
