What would cause this?

I tried removing the lines and cleaning everything, but it leaks pretty badly once it's all put back together. I guess the water pressure increased after putting on the new water valve in the back or something? Possibly the water flow was better because the new valve doesn't have any build up? Anyway, is this the correct part number: AP3085317(2186443)?
