I continue to have drivers side hose leakage at the crush washer. I have replaced the hose ,the caliper and the washers numerous times with thin and thick ones. I don't want to tighten to much and strip the caliper as I did the other one. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks

Makes me think the banjo bolt(s) are defective.

They came from Classic.I have some coming from another source. I don't know if sealant will work since the shoulder of the bolt is smooth with a hole just below the head. The thread is at the tip of the bolt.
