leaking brake fluid

replaced brake master cylinder and now have brake fluid leaking from master cylinder where male brake line thread meets female MC thread. Unable to stop leak.. Threads are not cross-threaded. Any suggestions, ideas? Thanks...

Your flare is not seating correctly. Cut off the old flare and make a new one. With a dbl flaring tool. THese tools are availble at NAPA and the home improvment box stores.

Look carefully into the female end . THere may be some debris in there or the part may not have been machined properly thereby not allowing proper seating.
