Default master cylinder not sealing

I had to replace the master cylinder for the brakes and once I tightening the outer line I noticed that fluid is zipping through there. I can see a big leak once I apply more preassure to the breaks.
is there something that I can use to seal this line?
the threads seem ok and it comes in and out fine. Its just not sealing.

HELP, Im in the process of doing this.
thanks

is it leaking behind the fitting or is it leaking through the threads? If its behind the fitting you probably need a new line.

The line might be split.
