Leak at Alde boiler hot water connection

sequimite

I noticed a slow leak at the pex to fitting connection as noted by the green arrow in the photo below. I may have disrupted that connection while dismantling the Alde glycol loop, though it really should not be that fragile if done correctly. While I was exploring the connection, it came apart entirely. It appears to be a push connection (sharkbite or similar). I'm not going to use the Alde on the next trip, but of course need to address this soon. As a temporary solution, will draining the Alde hot water tank and opening the Alde bypass valve prevent the tank from filling again and therefore remove water from that connection?

I'm not too familiar with this type of connection. I tried pushing the pipe firmly back into the connector, but I don't think that did it. Will I need to replace the conical fitting (which I assume incorporates the sharkbite)? Any other ideas from the T@B experts on this forum?

Decided to call NuCamp on this as I needed answer quickly. Creed confirmed that draining the tank and opening the bypass valve will remove water from the leaking connection. Excellent service from Creed at NuCamp!

I was under the general impression that those types of fittings could be disassembled and reassembled as you describe. Of course, the success of that assumes there is no wear or damage to the fitting or pipe that would allow a leak.

Could you look inside the fitting while everything was apart to confirm that the o-ring (or whatever) seal is intact?

Good idea @ScottG . I will do that following my imminent trip.

I have a leak (2015 T@b 320S) where the cold water pipe connects to the Alde.  I decided to try accessing the hot water connection first since it's much easier to get to.  I also assume if one rubber gasket is leaking the other won't be far behind. I discovered the leak when I found water under my back seats. 
I have tested this leak with city water and using the onboard water and it leaks either way (one suggestion was that perhaps the city water pressure was too much).
I am unsure how to disassemble this and have tried watching YouTube videos as well as searching here.  I don't want to cause any damage.
I emailed Alde support but my guess is they will not speak to the piping since that can vary.
