If they are leaking from where the bolt goes through the banjo fitting then replace the copper washers, there are 2 washers 1 on each side of the banjo fitting end. If it's leaking from where the rubber hose attaches to the banjo fitting they you will need to replace the hose.

I agree - copper washers 4 sure unless the threads are stripped off. Maybe check the bleeder screws are tight too. Copper washers could be filed flat with a file - but you can not humanly deck both sides evenly and you may need certain thickness of the washers to seal if the bolt threads stop at a set point (requiring thicker or doubled washers).
