Put in the parking brake while building-easy install and no leaks during assembly testing.
Once finished plane, had a leak in parking brake.
Pulled parking brake (after first checking tightness of all fittings)-PITA getting to firewall.
Replaced with new unit-good for 15 hours and then started slow drip from same area of parking brake unit.
Pulled it again-left it off. Brakes are now fine with no leaks.
Very happy with less aggravation.

Mine leaked too. As I recall, there is/was a known deficiency and fix
that they applied to my returned unit. No leaks since. It was a PITA.
I'm pro-brake based on previous experience with a previous plane, but
obviously you can operate the '10 either way.
