[Jewelry making - Article 00657] - [Orchid] Little Torch problem...

Hi Friends,

    I hadn't used my Smith Little Torch in a while, and finally fired it
    up this week to do a repair on a customer's ring. After a few minutes
    I noticed the odor of acetylene and a hiss from the base of the
    torch! The gas hose leading to the torch is leaking gas. Fortunately
    I have a backup, but don't know what to do about my main torch.
    Again, the gas hose is leaking at the base of the torch. I had it set
    at 15 PSi... normally than my normal 5 PSI setting. Is this too high?
     Does this require manufacturer's assistance, or is this a problem I
    can rectify myself? 

Many thanks,
