Is the leak coming from the flare fitting going into the banjo fitting, or is the leak coming from the banjo fitting itself?

For the fittings that use a copper washer, I do tend to use new copper washers since the previous crush on them can sometimes permit leaks if the surface is distorted or uneven, etc.
