Do brake proportioning valves just start leaking? Or would it have to be one of the fittings into it?

I've never seen or heard of the prop valve leaking(but it could be possible)prolly just the hard line fitting.

It seems to be coming from a fitting that points towards the pass. side of the truck, and has a line in the end of it. I pulled the fitting out, replaced an O-ring, put teflon tape on all the threads and put it back together, and it still leaked.
There is a little spot in that fitting that has rubber or something down in it... seems to be leaking from that. Hard to describe it.

Is it a "O-ring" or a double flare fitting? I had a double flare line crack at the seat on a '85 F350. I cut the end off and reflared the line and solved the problem. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

The fitting I took off had an O ring. The little spot on it that looked like it had a rubber seal in it I think is my problem. I popped a little clip out and this little round rubber "gasket" of sorts was there on top of a pin hole. I'm thinking that the brake fluid was seeping through the pinhole and out around the rubber seal/gasket.
I wonder if its some sort of pressure release valve. /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
