I find that if my water pressure is too high it will leak around the temp probe just use a little less water.

Wrap the probe with some PTFE tape
Always give the hardest job to the laziest person because they will always find the easiest way to do it.

Wrapping the probe with PTFE tape and then twisting it back in should tighten it up so that it doesn't leak.
