Eggs,
I believe this fitting may have a conical rubber seat that gets compressed when tightened against the brass valve. It looks a lot like the type of hose used to connect your toilet or faucet to the water supply. If it in fact does have the conical rubber seal inside, the only thing you can do is replace the four-inch length of hose which has the fittings pressed into each end.
These seals are pretty effective and don't need a light of tightening torque to operate effectively. The seal is dried up so replacement would be the only option. Unfortunately, that means you'll have to bleed the hydraulic system after you're done.
While it is a compression fitting of sorts, it is not the type referred to by JimBlake because that type of fitting has a very skinny ferrule and wouldn't have such a wide tightening nut. The tightening nut on a traditional all-metal compression fitting is not all that much larger than the tube diameter.
