I have used pushfit where before there was compression and the pushfit leaks. I intend extending the pipe using a connector (copper) and then use the push fit on the new copper.

Have you seen this happen before. I only have a little copper left to play with and dont want to cut it down even more.
 
Usually a leak from pushfit is caused by not having full slip into the fitting or a minute dent or scratch/score on the pipework can cause the seal on the O ring to fail. I prefer compression and soldered fittings than pushfit or Cuprofit which is a copper pushfit fitting.
