Gents, I continue to have oil leaking from the 822 right angle fitting threaded into my Vans master brake actuators. I have tried teflon tape, eazy turn lube and a combination of the two. Usually lasts about 10hrs then begins to leak onto the floor. Any ideas greatly appreciated.
 
Did you install the brass 90 degree fittings (gold in color) or an AN 90
degree fitting (blue in color)? I used the AN fitting initially and they leaked
all over the place, switched to the brass fittings and used liquid teflon
and voila, no leaks.
 
I tried everything

as well. Teflon tape, baker seal, everything. In the end I simply just was not tightening the brass fittings enough. They seem like they might strip off or break, but when you think you have them tight, put 1 more turn on them even if it seems like you are about to break them off!

This finally stopped my leak.
