Author	Topic: brake line leak
rjs68stang Journeyman Posts: 36 From: South Bend, Indiana Registered: Feb 2006	posted 03-04-2006 06:18 PM I finally found where my brake lead was coming from and it is the line that runs into the master cylinder for the front brakes. I took the line off and cleaned it and there doesnt seem to be any reason why it should be leaking especially because it is hooked to a brand new master cylinder. That line has different size fittings on both ends and my local parts store doesnt sell them. Has anyone tried using teflon tape to stop the leak??? The leak is very small but enough to give me a spongy pedal. I dont know if this is a good idea or not? Let me know

There must be another parts store in your area someone should have a what used to be called a Dorman Kit, it is a set of drawers with a multitude of different adapter fittings, you should be able to find the proper fitting needed to adapt properly.

Most of the new places like Autozone or PepBoys don't seem to carry anything like that at all. Wonder why that is?
