actually fix very little, as I'm pretty hardware challenged myself. So
if you ignore what I have to say, I won't be offended. If I'm wrong,
someone please correct me.
Caveats done, on to the advice....
It's a squeeze clamp instead of a screw clamp? I would probably borrow
a pair of vicelock pliers to hold the clamp open while making sure the
tube was pushed as far as possible onto the fitting. The clamp should
be fairly close to the end of the tube. A small amount of silicone
sealant probably wouldn't hurt. I wouldn't use something like caulk
that binds if I could avoid it, though.
