Rough Country rear brake line leaking

So I installed rough country's extended rear brake line recently. It has a very slight leak at the distribution block that seperates the brake lines for the rear wheels. Everything seeems nice and tight. Anybody else have this issue before?

Yeah no leaks whatsoever until I installed the new line. I'm going to disconnect and re connect them then bleed the brakes, and if that's doesn't fix the issue I will be calling them.

Loosen the brake lines and retighten them into the block again. Sometimes that helps them seat properly.

Unless its leaking between the hose and the block.

I've had to do that on my YJ it worked like a charm
