Have a 96 dodge 12v, lost all brake pressure today, when i had someone step on the brakes for me after i limped the beast home i saw leak from the brakeline connector to the caliper... i removed the line, checked the copper o rings and they all look fine....cleaned em off and reinstalled, but the leak is still there
it doesnt look like the hose is leaking... could it be an over compress copper oring?

As far as I know the copper O-rings or crush rings are a one time use. Once they are crushed to seal they will not reseal.
If you are in a bind you can try boiling them and then let them cool slowly they MAY seal.
Best is to replace.

Sometimes the hose fails at the connector, it can look like it is coming out the washer................ Cheap as hoses are, I would replace while I am there.
