Question Leaking Brakes

Okay...I'm an idiot...at least I think. Changed Rotors and Pads yesterday. When I went to bleed the brakes, I noticed that the line to the rear caliper was leaking...(must be not tight enough)...So I tighten...nothing - still leaking. Pull it off, clean thoroughly...put back on - leak...did this a number of times with the same issue....WTF did I do now!!!??? HELP

And Yes, I did remove the calipers from the car...just made it easier...(at least I thought)

Did you install new brass washers on the banjo bolt for the brake line? Those washers are usually one time use.

Nope...that's my thinking as well. Just went to the dealer and bought a set (actually 2 - just in case)....
