Default Brake leak

i have a 99 ex 2.3 accord and I've recently noticed my brake fluid draining pretty rapidly. my e-brake light stays on, i fill up the fluid and it goes off but sometimes the fluid is full and the light is on and the ebrake is down. idk im not sure very confusing. Today i saw that by pumping the brakes it spits out fluid by the rear passenger side caliper, almost out of a bolt by a spring. Im not sure very weird and just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas or has gone through this before.

Thanks

Sounds like you need to replace the flexible brake hose or at least tighten the banjo bolt on the caliper.

I personally would get them from Honda. Almost guaranteed to be made out of higher quality materials.
