weeping

I have fluid weeping from all over my braking system. Mainly seems to be coming from the top of the fittings through the hole where the brake pipe passes into the threading fitting rather than from the threads.

Its making a real mess and i have no chance of bleeding the brakes.

solutions?

Anyone want to buy a part built dax rush?

I'll give you £20 for her, and I'll even wipe the garage floor when I take it away!

Sounds like you need to redo your flared ends. It took me a few attempts to work it out. Plus don't overtighten, as that just makes them leak even quicker!

I might have to insist on cash on collection, don't wanna waste my money after all!

Stick with it mate - it is so worth it the first time you nail the throttle on your first drive. The grin starts to hurt after a while!

Take the wekend off, and do something different.

Take a deep breath, remove the brake system clean up any evidence of it happening and start again. Youll feel much more confident in it if you do start again, rather than repair the existing.

Have you fitted the brake lines the wrong way round?

The std dax supplied kit has metric one end and imperial the other (IIRC the imperial end goes into the master cylinder and the metric end goes into the caliper flexi hose).
