      > 2. There is no tape on the compression end of the fittings but one of them has
      also leaked, so was that side just not sealed well or should there be teflon
      tape on the compression fittings as well?

      The compression fitting ferrule technically should be used only once.  They are
      probably the type with the compression ferrule captive in the compression nut.
      They are inexpensive.
      
      I admit I have reused some.  The key is probably that they were not over tightened
      on the first use.  A general rule is hand tight plus one full turn. My builder's
      manual says, "Just tight enough that the tubing cannot be pulled from the
      fitting with a firm (but not fierce) tug".

      Andy,
      Looks like I missed you.  I'm just northeast of Green Bay in Pulaski (92C).  What
      brought you to Green Bay?
