I have a tiny leak coming from the underside of the "nut" at the top of the copper feed pipe on an an old Valiant TRV valve . It probably just needs a tightening or a bit of PTFE . I understand that these are usually compression fittings but I think this might be something different as the way it is attached looks different to the more modern TRVs in the rest of the house. I don't want to start trying to force anything without understanding how this valve is attached to the copper pipe. Can anyone advise? Cheers

It just looks like an internal compression nut instead of an external one.
There should still be a standard Olive on the pipe inside.
