When I tried to bleed the brake today the back brake kept on leaking. Every time i would get some resistance on the brake and pushed down, brake fluid was drip out of the brake. We tightened everything up and it was still leaking. My uncle said that the seal in there is probably broken and needs to be replace. What do you guys think the problem is and how would i fix it?

thanks, Joe
 
where is it leaking from? the nipple,the line,the master...you sure you have BOTH copper washers on the line? one on the bolt side and one on the caliper side.

Its not leaking from the line or the nipple, im not sure what a brake master is but i will go with that. Since its not leaking from the line i am pretty sure i have the copper washers. I am pretty sure the leak is happening between the caliper cover and the caliper body. Would that mean that the gasket is broken?
