Brake Line Drip
I have a drip where the steel brake line connects to the rubber hose. The nut head is rounded off and I'm having a hard time trying to tighten it. Is there a solution short of replacing the steel line? Is there a way to use some kind of sealer or teflon tape to make a better seal? Thanks

That is a compression sealed joint, I don't know of any sealer that you could use or even want to. Bubba would use some vise grips to tighten that nut up, however it should be replaced. If that nut was rounded previously, sounds like the sealing faces are already damaged.
