How to stop dripping? The nut is part of the t-adaptor. Too loose and it drips on the other side of the nut. Too tight and it drips at the arrow.

Reno Teflon tape and make sure rubber washer is ok, sometimes you need 2 washers, but you don’t need Teflon there

I feel like an idiot now. Turns out there was no washer in there at all! I've put one in and it seems good now.

There was a lot more water coming out the side with the tape before I put the tape there. Would the extra washer help seal both sides of the nut so I wouldn't need the tape?

Cross threaded maybe.
