Brake fluid leak

I was pushing the brakes hard to see how quickly I could stop for a while, and now I have a slow brake fluid leak. From appearances it looks like the leak is coming from the rear bottom port in the brake junction.

I've tried tightening the flare nut from the connecting brake line (and all the other flare nuts on the junction), but it still leaks. I thought that tightening a compression fitting should seal whatever gap there is.

Any ideas on what could be the problem? Would a new flare and brake line work? Or is the problem likely with the brake junction itself?

Thanks!
John
