Default Leaking caliper

So I just replaced the calipers and hoses in the front of my 2001 and the passenger side bleeder screw or brake hose at the caliper is leaking. I have replaced the bleeder screw and the copper washers at the hose but still cannot stop the leak. It's a slow leak but obviously a problem. Any thoughts?

I would take it back to where you got the caliper and change it out if it where me.

Yeah I would return those! Last thing you want is for that line to suck in a bunch of air and your pedal drop to the floor.
