Based on the description of your leak:
- Bad line (maybe a week clamp if this is the low pressure line)
- If this is the high pressure line with the fitting, possibly cross threading.
- Something not routed properly causing a stress point to per-maturely damage something.

Those are the best thoughts I have so far.
