Where is it leaking, Peer? Right at the connection? Mine was spewing after I got to Bean Station and it was a tie-strap mount that broke and the copper tubing worked on the connection with every bump on the way there, I guess. The sealing washers are available at True Value here at home, 500 miles away from where I was at the time. I managed to get the old seal to work (with some RTV) and re-strapped the tubing to avoid future movement of the connection. The new ones are orange and much softer than the 40 year old originals. You may need a basin wrench to get the nuts loose and retighten them.
