I just installed mine last week and the flare on the hard line had gotten an edge on it and was not sealing. I wet sanded it a bit with 220 grit then finer and it works well on the new line.

its leaking out the flare nut.. where you connect the stainless steel brake line to the main brake line off the wheel well it seeps out the threads so the flare could be messed up to not mate correctly with the other end?
