Thanks. Yes, that's what was happening with the water line coming out of the inlet valve assembly. After fixing that (above), I checked the water line for the ice maker and confirmed no leaks.

This new drip is at the water dispenser tube in the front door. It's a very slow drip - perhaps 1 drip every 10 minutes or so. Not urgent but I don't want to fix it soon.

I still can't find components (5/16" plastic compression fitting and sleeve (either separate or integrated). I'm probably going to have to hope that the fitting itself is okay and just splice in some new tubing, ensuring no stress at the splice point and at the fitting. I have some polyethylene tubing from HD and a push to connect coupling.

Hope this does the trick.

Get it from an appliance parts place that carries spares for your model fridge.
