Been chasing a slow drip from the banjo fitting on top of the "proportioning valve" on the rear bulkhead.
I've replaced the 10mm and 12mm ID washers a couple times to no avail. It is a PITA working in that tight spot but the fitting is as tight as I can get it, but still has a frustrating slow drip... Any kind of gasket material (like the blue stuff) to smear on the washers to help?? Did I mention I HATE working with brake fluid???? |

It may help to anneal the copper washers with a torch to soften them. This will help if the mating surfaces are uneven.
