Line lock solenoid leaking...help

[Grabber07']

Well we thought we are all done...but it looks like the bottom of one of the Jegs solenoids continues to bead up break fluid. We have tightened down everything we can think of...yet it still runs down the bottom of the solenoid...any suggestions?

It seems to be leaking right where the washer meets the brass towards the bottom of the solenoid...and I know we got that sucker tight.

did you used teflon paste on all the fittings?

Well I think we got the problem solved.... Yes we used teflon on all fittings. the Leag wasnt coming from any of the fittings. it was the actual solenoid that was allowing fluid to leak through the washer 3/4 of the way down the solenoid. Had to take the top fittings off... pull the solenoid and tighten that bitch down with some elbow grease. I think that solved the problem. Tested out the Line locks outside of the house and worked like a champ. THanks PMP!!

How do I screw up something as easy as line locks hehe.... You give me exhaust...no problem.... rearend gears...no problem..... stereo system wireing...no problem.... BUT give me line locks... and I about drown in brake fluid and cant pull it off without cursing and throwing crap hehe. But in the end... GOTR DONE. going to wash the car and clean up the brake fluid off the body.... going to get under there later and see if there are any more leaks... I think all is alright now. The line locks rock,... cant wait to hit the track next weekend

Tomorrow should be, er, interesting... I have not data logged my last set of tunes, so we'll see what we got when we get there...
