Question Leaks at both calipers....hmmm.
The only dumb questions are the ones not asked. Yeah. O.K. then: My flexible brake lines, at the "banjo fittings", where they enter the front calipers are not sealing in the slightest. Yes, the copper washers are installed.
Now the question: Could it be I need to install two washers on each side of the fitting? Has anyone had some experience with these leaking?

What kind of calipers are they? Occassionally we'll get rebuilts with bad or marginal sealing surfaces. Sometimes they can be saved with an O-ringed aluminum sealing washer (made by Earls).

Alternately, your banjo bolts are too long.
