Brake Reservoir Help

[Fuel an]

So as many of us are, I am working from home and hoping and praying for a treatment protocol and then a vaccine. Since I have this time at home, I figured it is time to get back to the build.

My brake reservoir is leaking from the bottom, I presume it is the plastic nipple, I am using the 90 degree one. I didn’t put any pipe tape on it, as didn’t think it would hold up with the brake fluid. I have put two clamps on the hose, didn’t seem to help.

I have the Wilwood kit and pedals, the system bled out well. Any ideas or suggestions?

I used Loctite 545 thread sealant on all my brake line fittings and it seems to have worked well. Please note though that you will have to swap out the plastic fittings for brass as their instructions state it is not for use on plastic.

Mine is leaking as well, but not from the nipple. It's a mystery. My current theory is they are milled from multiple pieces and assembled since I see a faint line at the top around the circumference of the reservoir. That is where I believe it to be leaking from.

My original reservoirs leaded at the neck on the top. F5 replaced.

Probably same as mine. Since FF is shutting down guess it will have to wait!
