Help please Alkathene 21 to copper15 mm reducer leaking hissing

[Fireblade9]

Hope pic worked this is leaking was just wondering if they need replacing after so long leaking at top over the white insert

Any help appreciated

Looks like a bodge up white part shouldn't be visible, replace whole fitting using the correct adaptor to copper pipe.

needs replacing also needs a copper transition sleeve/piece in the top and not a normal 20mm insert
