SInce we had a water softener fitted, a number of the

Others have commented that the "yorkshire" tag is usually taken to mean
solder ring fittings, its perhaps fair to point out that Pegleryorkshire
(as they are now know) make all types of fittings including compression:

Is this just a matter of nipping up the nuts a little or
would it be a sign of something more serious?

Tightening a little may help. (although if the weep is due to a scratch
on the pipe, you may need to remake the joint to fix it properly).
