update: I put a new Teflon Oring on for one last try before moving on to the copper washer Idea, " I like that idea" thanks Mike P.. I tightened it up as tight as I could get it, and it's not leaking. The next time I'm in the parts store I'll get some copper washers and have them on hand I'm sure as long as I have them it won't leak, Murphey's Law.
