    leak on a pushfit Tee

    I have used pushfit where before there was compression and the pushfit leaks. I intend extending the pipe using a connector (copper) and then use the push fit on the new copper. Have you seen this happen before. I only have a little copper left to play with and dont want to cut it down even more.
