The other thing you might want to look for. Check to see if the nipple is smooth on the outside. If it is, this is probably a compression fitting. There is supposed to be a rubber grommet around the outside of the nipple. Sometimes when people take these apart the grommet stays inside the fitting. Then when they put the nipple back in it compresses across the nipple opening also causing the beer to spray through the fitting. Take the small nut off, inside the tower, slide the nipple out and look inside the fitting you slid the nipple out of for the grommet. If it's there, remove the tape and put the grommet around the outside of the nipple, and slide it back in, and tighten the compression fitting. I'll bet this is your situation, Let me know how you make out.
