Sounds like that might be your best choice. But tell them you have trouble with brakes instead of breaks .

You can use an arkansas stone to “dress up” the old copper sealing washers

If you do a good job . . . and you’ll be able to see and feel just when that is, but it’ll take a few minutes . . . you can then torque the banjo bolt to spec, and there will be no more brake fluid leak. Not from that area, in any case
