    The coupling that attaches the metal brake line to the master brake cylinder has a pinhole (by design) under a rubber band and I believe this pinhole is leaking while pressure is applied to the brake pedal. Can anybody help me out with this one? In the following picture, I circled in red the general location of the leaking pinhole.

    By seal, do you mean the little rubber dealio that goes around? What's the purpose of this pinhole that they put in the coupling?

    Yes...I do not know the purpose...possibly a breather hole
