This is my first post: I'm replacing the rotors (sportbrake) and painting my calipers on my 02 Mag Red coupe. I finished one side (front driver side) but the banjo fitting on the caliper is leaking fluid. I used the existing copper washers, the car has 3,500 miles, should I replace the washers? Is this recommended? Is this something sold separately or will I have to buy the entire brake line assembly?

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Yes, (in general) you should always replace the crush washers.. Once they are crushed (with the old hardware) they are "done".
Very inexpensive.. Just bring an old one down to your local AutoZone (or whatever) and match it up.. They sell them in packs of 10 for 3 bucks..
