Today I took off my wheels and tried to figure out where my brake fluid was leaking from. I originally thought it was from my front right, as there was a small spill under my tire when I was leaving work, but found that it was my banjo bolt on the rear right which looked wet. I tried tightening it, but it kept on spinning, so we'll see over the next week or so whether it still leaks. Hopefully it's tightened enough right now to stop the leak, if not, then I hope all i have to do is replace the banjo bolt and not the entire caliper itself.
 I also tightened up the e-brake while my rear wheels were off since I think it was a little loose, so now it stops after 3~5 clicks, max 7 clicks until I can't pull the handle anymore. |

If it kept spinning, its prolly stripped. Luckily you serviced your ebrake so hopefully it still works when the bolt launches from the caliper leaving you with no brake pedal.

Good luck replacing the OEM bolts, as far as I remember it was a little bracket that hold them all. Get creative and change to new bolts.
