I had to fit a small O Ring against the olive for mine to seal, works great now.

None of mine have olives.

Just a correct size oring that is large enough to slip over the pipe but is small enough to fit into nut. As you tighten the nut it seals off

Same here.

Just replaced them on my SE4 (6 of them at 79 cents a piece!) I need to find a cheaper source...
