It looks like you have a male POL connector that would go into the tank, going into a gauge then terminating into a 1/4 inch male NPT which would go into the propane regulator.
A good starting point would be to determine exactly where the leak is located. Use a soapy water solution, and paint it on the fittings while the system is under pressure. The leak will cause bubbles, making it very easy to find. Disassemble that fitting and install some # 37207-30025 thread sealing tape.
The gauge portion of your setup is a common failure point, you might find that simply removing that and reassembling everything using new tape solves the leak problem.
