Remove bolt, replace copper washers, do up again, but don't do it too tight.

You've probably crushed the copper washers too far so that they aren't effective any more.

Are they just a general washer or are they a mitsubishi part

[Confused]

I think that any copper washer of the correct size will do - but check with Mitsubishi (assuming you've got one locally), you may be very surprised at the price!

do not over tighten it.

i did, and the bolt head sheered off. NEw copper washer on both sides of the banjo fitting.

but it was not a major issue i had a couple of spares.

I have had a good look at it and the idiot who put my engine in has only one copper washer on at the back and a normal washer under the nut I assumed there would be a copper washer either side of the banjo before the nut and normal washer went on to make the seal would I be right in thinking that

[Davezj]

bano fittings are usually bolts, and they definitely need a copper washer either side of the pipe. i presume it is the same for nutted banjos.

I think I will go with that dave just put one on each side fingers crossed lol
