Passenger side oil line leaking (barely)

Has anyone ever had the coupling between the oil line and the oil block leak? (I can best describe where this is by saying next to the oil pan there is a block where the oil filter is located, there is a nipple on there also, that is where these two hoses are plugging into) It is on the passenger side and the coupling is fitted with a washer and looks like a sort of ring also. The driver side line is fine! but the passenger side which is probably like a 25mm or bigger wrench needed to squeeze it on tighter. I know I put a 1 inch on it and it was too small.

I'm taking it to autoeurope monday (Hopefully they can fit me in! if not ill just go buy a wrench and do it myself)

The leak is small. Tiny drips and leave a small little amount on the pan that then drips to the ground. Just started on Friday and I was able to take the panel off today and inspect it. Looks like I just need to loosen it and then tighten it back down!
