NAPA Indian Head Gasket Shellac
An "old" IAP recommended NAPA Indian Head Gasket Shellac for such fittings. I resisted at first, but when I just couldn't staunch two weeping fittings on the brakes I gave in and tried it. Immediate cessation of the problem. SO, I took all fittings loose and applied the shellac now flying for over a year without any indication of weeps, runs, or errors.
The Shellac is around $5.00 for a bottle. DO NOT use the dauber that comes with the bottle. I use a Q-Tip to apply, works great and requires virtually no clean up.
