Brake line leak??


BlackMess

Recommended Posts

I was cleaning up the engine bay in the FD and bumped the abs pump. I noticed a VERY small leak on the inlet on the FR and FL lines,the rear is fine. I replaced the copper washers and it was still leaking around the upper and lower copper washer. WTF this is driving me nuts?? Am I thinking about this to hard? To tight? To loose? Bad crush washers? I'd imagine torque spec woulnd't be more than 14-20 ft/lb. The new washers seem to have a round side and flat. Flat down? up? does it matter?

update..

I heated the washers up with a torch, let them cool and was able to get one line to seat. The other washer wont compress at all. The top seated but the bottom is leaking BARELY.
