Fluid leak help.

Won't need to drive it to see if its brakefluid leaking.

 

Sounds like the copper washer(s) that seal the bolt and hose end to the caliper is either damaged,crushed, or missing.

 

It looks like they're both tapered pipe thread. There's a possibility that someone cross threaded the bleeder and the brake line. I'd consider backing them out to inspect the threads and seal them with some teflon or something. You probably want some kind of thread sealer on them.

 

If the hose threads directly into the caliper instead of being the banjo bolt style it should still use a copper washer to seal it unless it is a flared style.

Looking back at your pic it looks like a flared style. I’d take it back off and check to make sure the fitting is the right angle flare and is not damaged. I’ve bought replacement power steering hoses recently for a car that had horrible flared ends new and I could not get them to stop leaking.

 

Is it leaking from the threaded fitting into the caliper? Or is it coming from where the hose is crimped on?
