Installing dishwasher - very slow leak in compression elbow on the non-compression side that hooks up to the dishwasher I wrapped teflon tape around the threads twice and tightened as much as I could - should I have wrapped tape three times? - help! Thanks.

Hi Enrique...

Back the fitting out and wrap teflon around the threads 6 times... then tighten it all back up. DO NOT overtighten.

That should be all you need to do here. Let us know how you make out... O.K.?
