New Calipers leak

Just put on 73mm calipers on. While bleeding them, they were gushing out fluid
where the brake line bolts on. Everything looks OK.
Do I need to get the correct width shim (washer) between the caliper and the
bolt?

Did you re-use the old copper washers? Did you use two of those copper washers?

yup make sure you are using new copper washers. one on each side of the connection and make sure that they arent doubled up because i know it happens a lot
