Adding some detail, like what the component it is (make, model number at a minimum) Going to take it that it's a brake lever, but there are many brands, and different types, some are more serviceable than others

Agreed. Some levers have the ability to replace/tighten/bleed their fittings/lines. Some less so. If you have a leak and you only replace the lever then someone will have to do the work which includes much of the skill to service the OEM lever. Do you have that skill/tooling or will you seek out help at a LBS or qualified friend? Andy
