I agree with KEB.Sounds like you need to replace the brass compression ring to have a solid mechanical repair.Ifyour line is really copper and you do not wish to replace it with new ,you can anneal the original line very easily.However then it will be necessary to replace both of the compression rings.Simply cut off both rings and remove the compression nuts. Place the old line an a suitable surface to heat same.You may only have a piese of steel if firebrick is not available.Then slowly and verrrry carefully warm up the line to near red heat. When you reach that point dump it into a bucket of cold waier. If you have done this correctly your line will be soft and free of the result of work hardening which is a result of age and vibration.Take care to not melt the copper first experiment with a piece of scrap copper to get the hang of this operation.Flush the line with water and compressed air and reassemble.
