Losing brake pressure

Is there supposed to be a washer between the caliper and the end of the high pressure hose block?

I thought so...It must have been stuck to the old calipers..which have since been returned for the core $. I found some small copper crush washers and that looks to be holding for now..but if I remember correctly it should be a thin spiral wound washer....I'm crossing my fingers.

Thanks for the quick response.

Usually it is a copper crush washer that goes between the hose end and then caliper.

If you put in a copper washer then you should be fine now.
