Brake T-Joint Weeping
My front T-Joint is weeping on the brake lines, cleaned them up too see where it was coming from and left it a week and nothing... left it over winter
and ive got a small puddle. only about 5-10ml but its tight and shouldnt leak, can i put any leak stop or similar on joints??

Brake pipe connections are designed to seal just by making the flare correctly, the only brake pipe connections that I have seen leaking are due to
badly formed flares. Brake connections with sealant should be an instant MOT failure.
