Just put in a new power brake booster, master cylinder and lines and notice some brake fluid leaking out of the MC around the threads of the lines. Are people lining the threads with anything to prevent leaks?

I lined mine with more torque. No leaks.

yep, and alignment is huge. If your running new lines, Ive had trouble with some fittings, not sure if they are all made equally, also Ive resorted to useing pre-flanged rather than flanging my own when ever possible.

Lining the threads on that type of fitting is a no go. The fittings just need to seat. I always have to loosen then tighten, loosen then tighten over and over until its done leaking which will seat the fitting.
