I was at one last job yesterday under a floor that managed to work itself slack fully a turn. It hadn't been touched since the day it went in.
i always tighten the olive on the pipe then undo it and wrap some PTFE around then tighten it back up. it takes a bit longer but it saves it leaking in a few years time
the fact you under it then wrap ptfe round it is more likely to damage the joint and cause it to leak. If u must, wipe a bit of jonting compound on tighten it up and then squeeze another 1/2 turn max.
if high pressure fuel lines rely on an olive joint with no ptfe or gunk why are plumbers bothering to faff around and and not make joints as they are designed to be made.
Just sodder them compression on. It works [emoji12]
original fitting prob over tightend when fitted. Too many cheap compression fittings around now, conex or yorkshire if your not paying
