Default Front brake leaking at the oil bolt

Two weeks i installed new SS break lines. Tonight I noticed that the left front caliper is leaking at the from the oil bolt with the two crush washers. Pretty sure that I like a dumb ass over tightened that bolt. I know that I didn't cross thread the bolt on the caliper because I did hand tighten the bolt during the installation. Hopefully I didn't mess up the threads on the caliper. Should I replace the bolt and washers to see if that fixes the problem. Thanks David

Replace the 2 crush washers and properly torque the bolt. The bolt itself should be fine.
