Loc-tite isn't meant to make a water-tight seal. If you want to seal the threads, you could try some liquid gasket like Permatex or Hondabond. Although, it would be best to disassemble the fittings, clean them thoroughly, and reassemble them with the liquid gasket. You could try just applying the liquid gasket to the outside of the fittings, but it may not set up correctly without a clean surface.
