Sometimes things get banged around or someone grabs the stainless tubes for some reason and that can cause a leak. I loosened the nuts on my YH and twisted the ferrules with a pair of vice grips then tightened the nuts back up and that took care of the leak. Of course that was after I ordered new parts and a new compressor.

That's unfortunate. I did have to send mine in once for warranty and they said there was an issue with a high pressure plate valve(?).
I looked at that stainless steel spiral tube. It appears to have compression fittings on both ends. If they took that off to repair your compressor that could be the problem. Sometimes that type of fitting only works once. You could buy a new setup from PA, or you could see if you can tighten those fittings, or, you could remove the tube and add a "little" gasket sealer to the contact areas. Do yourself a favor and use the correct size metric wrenches.
