Yea the leak was definitely due to the wrong-sized washer. I usually hand-tighten until it won't go any further without me using an "unreasonable amount of force". You carry a risk of over-torquing with that method, though, and that's much worse than under-torquing. Just tighten until no drips, and not more.
