What you describe as the brake line junction in the rear is actually two separate pressure reducing valves.

Look at the area while applying pressure to the system to see exactly where the leak is occuring. If you don't have an assistant to work the brake pedal you can use a pressure bleeder without fluid.

If a fitting is loose I would just tighten it and see how it goes from there.

Could possibly be a leak in one of the flexible lines between the valve and the solid line that goes to the wheel. Replace both flexible lines if that's the case.

It's rare that the leak will occur in the copper/nickel line itself, but I have seen that happen on my 242.
