LP Fuel leak found

I had a tiny leak/weep/ooze of fuel from the rear end of the car, i.e. after 2 days a small 2cm drip patch on the garage floor;

There was a small meniscus of fluid on the edge of the diagonal plate under the low pressure fuel pump, the only place I think it can come from was the brass fitting attaching the hose to the pump - & it wasn't particularly tight so;

Loosened the jubilee clip and gave the fitting another 1/2 turn;

I hope I've got it, just a wait now to see if everything is fuel tight...

Update - It didn't work - seems like the brass fitting needs PTFE to stop it leaking.
