Re: Brake line connection

It sounds as if you also have a master cylinder issue. The fluid from the rear reservoir may have leaked into the brake booster. The lack of any pedal would indicate air in the system or the seals in both the front and rear are bad and leaking past internally. You said you replaced the wheel cylinder. For what reason? Did you tear it down, clean and inspect the bore? If not I would take the time to do it. If the bore is rusted and pitted then it is likely the other brake components are in similar condition. As far as your seeping at the wheel cylinder. Did you use anti-seize on the threads and the back of the flare when you assembled the lines. Assuming you went with the stainless tubing.
