Default Seepage at banjo bolt, Bad rebuilt caliper?

2007 JK. Recently replaced both my front calipers with rebuilt ones from Napa and I keep getting seepage from the banjo bolt on both calipers. I initially thought it may have been bad washers so I replaced them with no luck, I then was thinking the banjo bolts that came with the new caliper were maybe



out of spec so I went and bought a new one with new washers and I’m still getting the seepage.

I’m out of ideas and the only other thing I can think of is maybe when they retapped the banjo bolt holes it took out too much material and is allowing fluid to seep up the threads. The brake lines are new and were replaced before the calipers and hand no seepage with the old calipers.

I have attached some photos in case maybe I’m just an idiot and doing something wrong. The red arrow indicates where it is seeping from. I’d really appreciate some ideas cause I’m out of them and the only thing I can think of are the calipers were poorly rebuilt. Thanks for the help
