Memize:
You should have applied PTFE tape to the threads right from the start! It doesn't hurt to add a little dielectric grease also. To go ahead and install the system after you had so many leaks was really asking for trouble!
Water+leak+electronic component=burning smell. That's a nasty experience and I have been there myself (a single drip dropped down from a hose I was disconnecting and into the tiny vent in my neon tube driver. One single drip or drip was all it took to burn-out the circuitry!).
