Default Fuel Leak

I have got a fuel leak at the bottom banjo connection on the fuel filter, can you still buy new coppers sealing washers or is there something you can put on the to help them seal???

JUST TAKE THE BANJO BOLT OUT OF THE FILTER AND TAKE IT TO HALFORDS OR ANY CAR DIY SHOP AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET SOME NO PROBLEM (NOT A SPECIALIST PART)

make there are no bits of crap on either the bolt or the fuel filter where it meets the copper washer.


get a NEW washers in there, dont re use the old ones as they are meant to squash to make a seal.
