Supply Line Leak - common failure? (Longish)

Greetings Saab Brothers/Sisters-
Recently replaced Fuel Pump (whole thing) and Fuel Filter on '96 900 SE Turbo Convert. All went smooth with the install, however noticed within first two fill ups, small puddle of leaking gasoline on the ground under the gas tank - no leaking once tank < 3/4 full. So....finally got around tonite to investigate problem. Figured while I was down there I'd knock out the new sports exhaust and new emergency brake cable as I was dropping the fuel tank...but hey, i digress...
So, upon close inspection it appears that it isn't the fuel pump ring not being tight enough or rubber hoses being not tight (inital thought) but its actually the fuel line(supply) right where the white check value meets the fuel line. Easy to spot when applying power to the pump, little droplet of gas drips from where fuel line meets supply check value. Is this common? Have any of you folks experienced this? THANK GOODNESS its the easy line to replace as it goes just to the fuel filter - but of course i still shattered the supply check value while trying to free it from the fuel pump. No biggie at $30 to replace, but I'm quite surprised at this failure.
Thanks - DaViD
