+1 on the nut being not tight enough. I had one start to leak after 12 years in very occasional use. Tightened the nut a very thin opened wrench, leak stopped. Chuck wrenches...

A lot of auto makers are "slowing their roll" on EVs. Chuck

I hope the one you have coming is something you can use. Keep us posted. Chuck

I hope it works out for you. Chuck

A small amount of clear RTV should hold it in place if you let it cure for 24 hours. Chuck
