hm, I'm not sure, the pipe was still very much bending at quite an angle so I dont think it would ever be a particularly good fit. The pipe has also been crushed and has a crease in it (probs while trying to tighten it to get a decent connection on a bend).
Last night so I could go to bed I removed it all, connected up a push fit T to the copper pipe and reconnected to the rad with some PEX. Parts I luckily had from replacing a tap!
Will probs get a plumber in but what's the proper fix?

Not sure why it only just started leaking but oh my god I am not surprised. Olive compression fitting on a bend, yeeehawww
