Sea Star compression fitting leak

[Irish Jigger]

Wondering if anyone ever had issues with a hydrolic steering fluid leak from a compression fitting. I have a small drop when the motor is up and tracked it to the fitting. Its as tight as i can get it but still when iam in the slip motor up it leaks and only when its up. 10 hours out fishing not a drop? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks
