I have a pretty substantial leak (read: empties the master cylinder in about twenty minutes) where the brake hose meets the caliper on a set of LT1-era rear calipers:
175576175621
I've verified that the banjo bolt is torqued down. I've pulled it off and replaced the copper washer. I started to post this yesterday and then realized I hadn't verified that the bleeder was tight; it was. It looks like the leak is from between the hose end and the caliper itself.
The hose and the caliper are both new, and by "new" I mean they have zero miles on them; they sat in my garage for far too long for me to expect whoever to swap them out.
Is there something obvious that I'm missing or should I go ahead and start swapping parts (and if so, should I just start with the caliper)?
