Default Rubber brake hose question

Hi all
I am working on bleeding my brakes. Looks like several attempts will be made in order to achieve an airfree system with a nice firm pedal.
Anyhow I have Raybestos rubber brake hoses at each corner ( I know SS braided will help firm up the pedal too) I have found one corner has a slight weep of fluid between the rubber sleeve and the banjo fitting for the caliper end. I do not think its a matter off tightening anymore on the nut or the crush washer as when I saw this be a fix it was usually a drip right off the nut itself.
This looks to be an internal leak at the hose to fitting.

Anyone ever seen this before?

BTW looks like I will be taking off the calipers to rotate and fool with in order to finally bleed the system, as numerous bleedings and fluid still result in a pedal to the floor first stab. The second stab is much higher and firmer.

I added 2 psi residuals as well in both front and back because I have my pedals & MC on the floor

*&^%%%$@ brakes!!
