Leaking brake line

[SradRyder]

im running a galfer line for my handbrake set up on my f4i. last weekend i found a leak on the banjo for my master cyl. am i able to fix this? or should i just junk it and buy a new one. if it can be fixed, can you name a shop or person who can do so? thanks

it's probably just the washer. You have to replace them when you upgrade the lines (they usually don't come with the kit)

i replaced the washers when i added the hand brake. then about a month ago the washer was leaking so i replaced it again. but this time you can actually see fluid leaking from the line when you squeeze the hand brake lever, then the system looses a bit of pressure.

leaking from the line or the banjo? You need a torque wrench to set those properly. If leaking from the line stop riding it NOW.

You only need 13-15flbs of torque for the aluminum washers.

once i noticed the leak i removed the hand brake set up that same day.

once i posted, i went to take another look from where it was leaking. i noticed that the leak is comming from the line itself. thats a no brainer that i need a new line. thanks for the replies.
