99 Durango Brakeline Junction Block
Hello all.
I recently replaced the front steel brake lines on my Durango. Everything was dry as a bone for the first couple of days, but now where the passenger side line comes into the brass junction block, there's a very slow leak. I tightened it up, but the leak persists. Could it be the junction block needing replaced (it's still the original) or could the threads on the brake line itself be stripped?
The leak isn't bad enough to affect pressure or set off any warning lights, it's mainly just annoying. Like I said, it' very slight but it's there.

There is tremendous pressure behind the brake system. Any leak is major actually. Blowouts are the next step followed by complete failure, accidents, damage and even death.
Blocks don't go bad so original doesn't matter. Most likely a faulty install of the replacement line cross threaded the brass. Replace it.
