If it is the Aircraft type A/N flared fittings, thread sealer will do you no good. The flare itsself is actually what creats the seal in that situation. If you separate the lines and inspect the male and female flares, any burrs or defects or dirt on the mating surfaces can cause a leak. Any hydraulic lines that are designed to have thread sealer or teflon to create a seal will have a slight taper on the outer diameter of the male end and will simply be flat across the top.
