LT1-style rear caliper leak

[derekf]

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:

Attachment 175576


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)?

Resolved.

For those of you playing along with the home game, here's the issue.



See the impression next to the port?



If you put this hose on backward, it will never ever seal.

Glad it was something simple LOL. Stuff happens.
