If the leak is coming from where the fitting screws into the plate (the tapered pipe thread). Two things you can use on the threads. A couple wraps of teflon pipe tape, or teflon pipe dope (paste). You never want to put anything on the taper of the fitting and the straight threads where the hose screws on.
