Where is it leaking? You replaced parts in three different places.

Different and better lookin' feller! LOL!

I have a link to one of your brake hoses below

http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/carquest-wearever-brake-hydraulic-hose-bha380556/18650861-P?searchTerm=brake+hoses+%26+lines

See dem copper rings in the center of the curled hose?

See the "block" on the end of the hose (left side of pic)

A copper ring (this is the seal) goes on either side of the block, the bolt runs thru one ring, the block, the other ring and then threads into the caliper.

I don't have your torque specs for the bolt, I do know that it is at least 25 ft-lbs. Should this not do it, send me your VIN and I'll try to look it up. At the present you did not give all of the necessary info to look it up (one being your engine size)

Insure you don't have new rings stacked on top of old ones that may be stuck on the caliper!

This do you any good?
