1, Check the qev Block screws aren't loose .
2, Check that you haven't over tightened the grip screw and bent one of the qev barbs.
3, Run your fingers around the pipework and see if you feel any air.

ok just checked

and the qev screws aint loose and the barbs ain bent but the leak appears to be coming from pipe on the barb (rather than the qev cap with barb)

If you are going to replace the pipe alot easier to actually cut it off .

Cut the new pipe to the same length and replace .
