We had a leaky braking system after an overhaul; rang the manufacturer and they told me to put Hydraulic Thread sealant on all thread connections.

I used 'Loctite 542' which is a proper Hydraulic Thread Sealant for Brake Systems and the like and it worked a treat (raced in two races since and had no problems), search for that in ebay and you'll find a 10ml bottle for a fiver which is where I got mine from.

Couple this with the advice given by the other chaps then I am sure you'll stuff that leak right up.

Hope that helps.
