Question Help pls.Slight hiss/"whizz" on oxy hose..

Hi All!
Well, started oxycon and opened oxy at torch. Heard a slight "hissy/whizzy" noise. Seems to be coming from the f/a quick connect area. Did the soap test..no bubbles. Opened and shut the disconnects again.
The welding shop put everything together.. This would have been like the 5th time using torch.
Any thoughts what to do next..otherwise will bring it back to welding shop tomorrow..
DARN, and I really did want to play today..
Thanks for any all help...
humble newbie

IF no bubbles it should not be problem....... Actually being oxygen and if it is leaking in very small amount I doubt it would be a problem anyway as it will dilute in room air and just become some oxygen to be recycled through oxycon....
