Brake fluid leak

[jgleasonraptor350]

Had a caliper go out about a week ago, changed it and everything was good until this morning. Had almost no brakes and discovered a slight puddle of fluid on the ground under the caliper.
Bled the line and their still very spongy and I cant seem to figure out why it's leaking.

Did you install the new copper washers or use the old ones? I have found that if the old washers are used the chances of leaks are minimal or no existent. The new washers are very soft and have to be tightened almost to the point of stripping the threads in the caliper. It could also be that you have a defective caliper.
Cheers,

Check the fittings up near the master cylinder. Could have a leak that is draining down the line. It would also let air into the system constantly and give you the spongy feel. If the lines are dry and the cylinder looks good try to trace the puddle to a drip. It is possible the caliper is leaking around the piston seals.
