Disconnect the electrical, unscrew it, and re-install with teflon tape. Tighten to 115 in-lb, according to the manual.
here is a link to the manual, if you want to take a look.

No picture came up but, first I would see if it was loose!!
Try to tighten it to the RECOMMENDED INCH POUND value. Make VERY sure that you use INCH pounds! If it continues to leak, remove it and use a thread sealer compound or teflon thread tape as previously recommended.

Try to RE- tighten the fitting first, It just might be loose! Thats the simplest thing!
