Don't have time to wait for an answer in the cars forum.

If I am in the process of bleeding my brakes and find a small leak at one of the fittings in the rear. Do I need to completely rebleed or am I ok with just tightening it. It was a very small leak. took an hour to show up as a drip.

Really don't want to rebleed.

I would probably rebleed that line at least.  If fluid was dripping out, something else had to take it's place. Like air.

Edit: Next time get yourself one of these:



About $30-$35 at auto parts stores.

You're not going to crash or anything, you might not notice anything at all.  You might also feel a slightly spongy feeling in the brake pedal.
