IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT AS TO THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR BRAKE SYSTEM DO NOT BAND-AIDE THE PROBLEM!!!

Are you guys retarded? this is his brakes, the things that keep your from running into stuff we're talking about.
Don't use teflon tape or thread loc, thats not what the fitting is designed for. First try a tap with the OEM thread pitch, and if it still leaks, junk it and get a new caliper.

^^^Definitely. C'mon guys, thread lock? Teflon tape? Do it right and re-tap, basically what tknbkthrsdy4anfg stated. The brake system is hydraulic so shit has to fit PERFECTLY. I wouldn't trust any of the other suggestions at all. If you mickey mouse your lines, you'll regret it when you lose all brake pressure and can't stop at a critical moment. Trust me, don't go around it because you want to save a couple of bucks and want your car on the road now.
