A VERY COMMON problem with these fittings are the're are a DOZEN companies making cheap know-off versions...   If the're is a BURR or a wrong DEGREE FACE (very common in cheap fittings..)  Take a SMAL COPPER WASHER (small enough to fit into your JIC FEMALE END) and use it as a seal.  This washer of course is flat and your JIC is TAPERED, but it will bend easily and seal your leakiy fittings.  

REMEMBER;

Never over tighten JIC fittings, NOR use teflon tape.  A two finger pull is MORE than enough torge to stop leaks...  any more is POINTLESS and your detroying your fittings...
