Boost guage leaking... help?

[1Gtuner1G]

Howdy, just as the title says, the boost gauge is leaking because I can hear a hissing noise right in the area of the boost gauge. It is an Autometer guage and I used everything in the kit to hook it up so the line is the right size. I've tried pushing it in more and it just seems to (i'm guessing) slide back out a little bit and leak. This little problem is making it hard to adjust my boost since I do not know what psi i'm running. So my MBC is backed out as far as I can get it.
thanks a bunch

Mail it back to Autometer and make them fix or replace it. Or, just get another if you can't figure out how to get some JB Weld to the leak.

i would say just use some teflon tape rather than JB weld, at least with teflon tape you could get it back off there without a battle. just use some of the tape on the little nipple you have to use, and on the larger piece that actually connects to the gauge. you should use the tape in two places. i just fixed my buddys boost gauge in his typhoon this way a couple days ago. if that doesnt work, then maybe the gauge is bad...try taking it back for a exchange or refund in that case.
