Default Front Passenger Side Brake Fluid Leak Between Line and Caliper...

I have the same problem described here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...luid-leak.html

except i can't tighten it. the bolt just spins in place forever, and continues dripping. after removing the brake line from the caliper and removing the bolt from the brake line, there were metal shavings on it and inside the connection to the caliper on the brake line that appear to be threading for the bolt... now the connection is smooth inside and the bolt doesn't even attach to the caliper, i can push it in and pull it out with my hands... what needs to be replaced? the caliper or the brake line?

and if it's the brake line, how do i do that...?

Ah, it was the caliper, the threads were completely gone...
