Just hand tight. If I need to out my Jose on with a pair of channel locks it might suggest that there is an issue. With it hand tight and a new washer, there was zero impact to the leaking water.

It isn't coming from where the hose attaches, it is coming from the pressure relief valve, or whatever that thing is with that small screw that is attached to the faucet. .

Looking at it now, can I just tighten that valve? Or will it need to be replaced?
