Default leaky brakes..Help!

Well i was out today and was going to change the ujoints on the half shafts had it all out on the bench...but the new ones was in the wrong size only one thing to do,get it back together again....
Well that wasnt my problem i noticed when i was under the car that i have a small leak on my Brake proportioning valve it leaks in the back
where the connection to the back brakes are.
here is a pic:

it gets out around the threads of the brake line connection
tried to tight it more but it sits like h*ll so that cant be whats wrong

IS it leaking where the brake line connects? Odd that that would just start on its own. If so, only thing you can do is remove it, clean the threads (inside and out) and try to reseat it.
