Be sure you don't over-tighten the compression fittings.  The first time I
installed mechanical gauges (over 20 years ago), I did that and had a
constant drip.  Major PITA.  It wasn't until I started racing karts that I
found out about not over-tightening them (kart brakes use the same type of
tubing and compression fittings).
