Hmm...never heard of the threadlocker trick, although I makes a certain amount of intuitive sense given what it does with threads it could also do between sealing surfaces. I'd be concerned about the chemical compatibility between brake fluid and thread locker...

That said, the best way that I've found to get leaky/weepy/seepy inverted flare connection to seal is to repeatedly loosen and tighten the fitting, taking care to never over-torque the fitting. Stainless lines are notorious for not wanting to seal, especially when paired with steel hose fittings.
