I use plumbers tape to wrap the connections before putting it pack together. I has always worked for me. You need to wrap it several times then screw it together.
It's called teflon tape. Only wrap two to three times. If there is a small leak, (seepage,) this is not unusual, and should seal itself off in a short while. I put a container under it, and it usually stops within 24 hours.
