Although I had to read the thread a few times to be certain of this!
 
Christmas, if they have e semicircular nitrile seals, they'll leak like a sieve regardless when they are put under pressure. Someone already said to use 2 seals, which is a reasonable temp fix if you have them. There is a 2.5mm high temp and high pressure seal available. If your LHBS can't help, yell out by PM and i'll arrange a fix for you gratis.

Im assuming christmas bought them from a LHBS in Perth? I bought some in Perth that leaked, took them back and was given replacement "O" rings and some spares. It was a dodgy batch and the pattern on the female collar that was different to the rest were loose and leaked.
I think the ones that leaked had a much smaller "O" ring than the others, but with replacements they fit nice and tight
