Leaking brake fluid from banjo bolt.

I just replaced my front brakes on my 98 blazer. On the drivers side only the banjo bolt is still leaking after putting the caliper back on. Any ideas why it's still leaking.

You mean the bolt holding the hose to the caliper?

Did you make sure to put the copper washers on? Maybe didnt tighten it enough?

I had a similar leak with my rear brake caliper replacement and it turned out to be -----the banjo washers. I used the ones supplied with the new caliper and they were steel. Leaked . i tried some copper aftermarket ones--Dorman --- and they leaked. I went back to the original ones and they leaked. Very frustrating.
