Break line/caliper leak

2005 acura TL. I’ve noticed leak spots in my parking lot and found out it was a break line feeding the caliper. Any fix suggestions or link to parts? Thanks


ive tightened this bolt, but idk if it solved the issue

after I tightened it i had someone constantly pushing on the break pedal and I didn’t see any leakage, however there was still some new leak spots coming for the same wheele after I checked on it for a few hours, im not sure if it was just leftover fluids or if it was still leaking, since I didn’t clean it up lol. I might just need to change the flex line and bolt, and links to parts (canada) I would appreciate, thank you

You might just need to replace the copper crush washer...

cleaning it would make identifying where the leak is coming from loads easier

Update I just tightened it up it didn’t really fully fix it but it stopped about 90% of the leak. I think I just need to change the copper washer like one you guys mentioned, thanks

I also found power steering leak, ill post a new thread about it if you guys are interested in helping me out, thanks again

Be careful tightening the brake line banjo bolt, they are not as strong as a bolt the same size since they're hollow and have side holes to allow the brake fluid to go to the caliper.
I don't remember but the torque value is not high (IIRC ~15ftlb)
