Find thicker copper washers. I remember hearing somewhere that they changed the thickness and composition of the copper washers and they dont seal correctly on older cars anymore. They just dont have the same crushability/sealing power the original ones did. Even if you have to find an old set of used ones just to test them out, try that.

Greg, Steve is right about using the older used washers...didn't mention that in my PM...I ended up using the original washers(37 yrs old) with some new brake hoses and calipers and they worked fine
the thicker oem style washers will make for a better seal, especially with silicone fluid. Give it a try..
