[Spridgets] Weepy fittings at MC

I have the brakes and clutch bled but I'm getting some silicone
weeping at the MC pipe fittings.
Under pressure the fluid is leaking out up the pipe from the inside of
the fitting. I used Napa brake line for the clutch and the brake
lines are from a good source. Both are leaking.
Now what?
Also, should I have a copper washer between the rear hose and the
brass union on top of the diff? I have a small leak there too. I
never had to tighten the bleeder valves as much as I have this time.
It's the first time I used silicone. Is it more prone to leak that
the regular fluid?
After this all I need to do is go over the wiring be sure I'm still
all hooked up, put oil and coolant in it, set the valves and get the
timing close and fire it. It should be exciting. Anyone want to come
watch my new engine leak all over:) It's also the first time I ever
replaced all the engine seals so I'm expecting to be doing a lot of
trouble shooting (mopping up).
