Default Brake Install Question

I switched my front brakes today to the cobra 10th anniv. brakes and it went real well.
The only problem I am having is that when I put it back together, the fluid is leaking from the area that connects the hard line and the the stainless flex line.
I assume the line is flared, so could it be an issue there?

If you are leaking in that area, you need need new lines. This is a factory connection and would NOT attempt to repair/clamp it.

I recommend you pick up a set of SS braided ones for BOTH front/back and upgrade your fluid to DOT 4 or Super Blue. This is not expensive and will be VERY helpful if you find yourself at the track as I did. I had ZERO brake fade/heat soak issus with about 1.5 hours on track. Brakes were cookin' and felt great the whole time.
