That is Qest tubing. It isn't bad if they use the compression fittings but usually they just used silver band clamps (aluminum) at every fitting and the aluminum eventually stretches, loosens and leaks.
Maybe the easiest way to fix it is to just cut off the offending fitting and use a compression fitting replacement. They are available under the Zurn brand name and look something like this:
Qest fitting
Note that your connection is leaking someplace regardless of how much you can hear it. These leaks DONT fix themselves and will do massive damage if left alone.
There may also be some Sharkbite fittings to repair this as well.
