Seam leaking on braided supply lines

[Viz]

Hi all,

I've often noticed that braided supply lines have a tenancy to leak a small amount (a few drops/minute) at the seam in between the compression nuts and crimped ferrules.

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed the same thing, and what causes this? Is it a sign of a larger leak to come?

Thanks in advance!

There shouldn't be any leaks.
I would replace. Braided supply lines come with seals at both ends and don't need tape or dope to seal. Sometimes tape with cause a leak.
