Unhappy Help! Little squirt leaking

Hi

I got a little squirt second hand, and have installed it but it is leaking and Im not sure how to fix it.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Its leaking where its connected to the toilet at the bottom if that makes sense. Not sure if i need something to make it fit more securely?

Our toilet is a Caroma trident only a few years old.

I presume that you screw it on somewhere? Did you use that white plumbers tape around where you screwed it on? That might help.

my dh suggests teflon tape (plumbers tape) or there is a ball shaped seal that may need to be replaced (on the connector from the little squirt).

(he installed our 2nd hand one from internet instructions).
