you sure you have it together right and have it really tightened down? did you put teflon tape on the threads?

I had the same problem when I first installed mine a few years ago. I ended up having to sand the anodizing smooth with 400 grit sand paper, then it finally sealed.

You never want to put teflon tape on banjo bolt threads. Banjo bolts seal using washers, not the threads.
