I replaced the faucet and that fixed that leak. I loosened and re-tightened pressure tank union and fixed that. I tried loosened and re-tightening the pump's union but that made it worse. So I gave up on that union and replaced the union and pipe with a piece of black plastic pipe I cut to the correct length. That fixed that leak as the plastic could flex where the union could not.
The leak and wet spots between the pump and well were very slow. Because of all the elbows I am not sure I could tighten the elbows and pipes anymore. Because the leaks are so slow I will wait and see if they stop on their own.
Its nice to have water from the faucets in the house and no longer rely on bottles and buckets for water. After I wait a few days I will put the roof back on the pump's shed.
