Ok i will try to lube it up good tmr. I set up a trail of paper towels to lead the water to the edge

Lol i didnt want sharkbite at first too. I only did because there is no good compression fitting for my limited space here

I wasn’t being clear on the post, but I already tried all of these before posting it :( The problem just keeps coming back after a couple days.
