    Dry off all the fluid around the banjo and apply the brake while you look for the first sign of fluid, I have known of a crack where the pipe enters the banjo, If the fluid appears around the washers then make sure they are copper washers and not steel. Also remove the banjo and refit the banjo bolt to check it is sitting square to the caliper face and hasn't been cross threaded by accident, that will cause a fluid leak regardless of how tight the banjo bolt is done up...
