The easy way out is to unscrew the compression joint, and then re-do the

PTFE tape is not for compression joints. Use Boss White.

No, the PFTE was on the screw in part - not the compression joint.
The whole assy was to go between 22mm copper and 3/4 thread..the only
thing I could find was a 3/4" screw to 22mm compression fitting.

It was the screw in bit that was weeping.
