try new crush washers but I bet you stripped the bolt.
I didn't mess with it... so the bolt should be fine. The brake was squishy and a couple of pumps of the lever used to right it. Then I crashed and was inspecting my bike and discovered this leak... could have gotten worse in the crash. I've taped paper towel to prevent the fluid from leaking on to stuff.
