Re: Flushing/changing brake fluid
Silicone is a smaller molecule.... thus will seep where others will not.
I have found that with double flare stainless lines I have had to "burnish" or "lap" the flares by inserting the fitting together and hand snugging the nut then spinning the line in the fitting, then snugging a little more and spinning again, then after tightening I have had no problems, this seems to seat the flare.
