On my 66 Chevy II I have 1 line coming off the master for the fronts. It then tees to both sides. One of the three fittings on the tee had what I would call a substantial leak for a brake line. I tightened it a bit more maybe two or three times. Reduced the leak quite a bit. Then I backed off and re tightened. I can't recall how may times but more than just a couple. No more leakage. I was almost to the point of redoing that line.
