Leaking Water Coupling Question

Hello,
Have a Union that leaks a very small amount on the incoming water line to
the house.
Really a small amount, a few drops if someone takes a long shower.
Maybe I shouldn't call it a Union, as it is not the kind of coupling with a
spherical seat and no gasket.
This one has flat mating internal surfaces with a gasket between them. *I
saw this when the water company man put in the new pressure reducer a while
back.
Anyway, I can certainly live with a few drops, but it is annoying.
I reallyt don't want to call a Plumber in just for this.
I was thinking about hydraulic cement.
Would a very thin smear of this stuff where it is leaking on the outside do
any good ?
Or,... ?
Thanks,
Bob
Sounds like the "meter coupling", which would have a rubber washer in
the middle which is replaceable. Should be available at any well-
stocked hardware store.
