What sealant (and source) works well for the brass fitting that screws into the brake cylinders, connects the brake fluid line to the cylinder? I have a leak and think maybe a different sealant might do the trick.

Teflon tape worked well for me.

Frank,
I used Permatex Pneumatic/Hydraulic Sealant PX #54540. Teflon tape is not recommended in aviation application and be advised there are two types of teflon tape. If you must use it, at least use the one for petroleum application.

I recommend Permatex liquid thread sealer sold at most auto parts stores in a little white tube.
