Lighter. Boom! Leak fixed.

Pipe dope FTW. Teflon tape isn't realy meant to seal, nor is pipe dope, it's just meant to sort of lube (anti gall) the threads for a tighter fit.
 
I am having trouble getting the nipple out of the elbow where the leak is. Is there something I can just seal it with from the outside?

Get the nipple out and start over as you will kill the threads. Find some leak-loc or similar. I have always seen it in blue.
