Tried to replace a faucet and now I have a slow leak under the sink. What did I miss in the connections?

Ugh, check the rubber washer first.

Did you hand tighten everything before you grabbed the wrench? Because I did that exact thing last month (totally rushed the job after work) and spent an hour mopping up water. The supply line threads weren't seated right on the new faucet's tailpiece, so it dripped forever until I took it apart and started over. A slow leak usually means something isn't lined up or the rubber gasket is pinched.

Check if the tailpiece is actually round from the factory. A slight oval shape ruined my seal last time.
