Default how do i fix this.. i need brakes!!!!

i just replaced my mast brake cylinder and break booster after breaking it. when i hooked everything up and looked at i saw that it was dripping brake fluid from where it tooks up to the master cylinder, so i pressed on the brakes and it was pouring out of of them. i went back in tightened everything is it was still doing it.. i have a little video of it. but has this ever happened to anyone and how to you fix it? :thinking:



how the hell do you fix this?

Look like it's not tight (sticking out quite far), or you have strip the thread on it. GL

Not sure if this applies but did you use teflon tape on the threads? Remember to wrap the tape the right way too!

Do not use teflon tape on brake lines, ever. Those fittings will never seal if you do.
