Brake leaking fluid at hose caliper connector.
Setting up a new set of hydraulic brakes (tiagra) front went fine. The resr won't seem to seal at the hose caliper connection point. When I try to bleed oil makes it through the system but a good bit visually leaked down the hose and when pulling back the syringe a ton of air gets sucked in (you can hear it) tried re doing the barb and olive didn't help. And bolt seems plenty tight (almost stripping it). Initially the hose was kinked and I applied quite a bit of pressure when trying to bleedm I've since replaced the hose but is it possible I broke something in the caliper??
