so just finished putting in revtek leveling kit, bilstein HD shocks, noticed parking brake light was on while brake was deactivated... added fluid to system and light went off, but now front driverside breaks are leaking fluid, and alot of it! seems to be coming from the main hydrolic line where it meets the brakes, did the mod mess up the brakes and i just overfilled it? or can i have a problem with the brakes themselves. suggestions? comments?

We may need a little bit more information in order to help. I take it you are referring to the front brakes?
If so, you have a steel brake line coming in from the master cylinder or ABS unit that connects to a rubber brake hose the extend from the body to the strut bracket. At this point a short steel line extends to the caliper housing. At each point there is a connection.
Can you tell us at which connection you have a leak.? :juggle:

leaking at connection to caliper housing, its front/driver side actually, do i just need to tighten it?

If it's loose yes. Have you recently had your brakes flushed? Could be a bad o-ring, not tightened or the threads are stripped.

replaced hydraulic hose, the metal one, seems to have fixed it, lost, will keep an eye on it, nothing really seemed wrong with the old one though... see what happens

Just tighten it. I have no O-ring this is a double flair tubing.
