Brake caliper leakage
Ok, so I bled my brake system after letting it run dry during the front pad replacement.
No leaks on back or passenger side.
However, I am getting a leak coming from the driver side caliper at the connection to the brake line.
At first I thought it was the nipple, but it's solid and I took a video while pressing brakes. Gives an initial give, then you press down hard and it starts leaking like a siv on the interior of the connection.
What do I do to fix it?

There's a copper washer on both sides of that connection. They might be worn. Or the bolt isn't tight enough. I'll check the torque and report back

Well, cinched them up, not leaking it appears.
Thought they were tight, guess not.
Thanks guys.
