PS leaks arw normally shrunken and hardened pipes. Try a new clip and tighten it firmly.

The banjo bolt fitting is the high pressure output. The HP pipes almost never leak at the swaged fitting. In my experience, worm drive and clamp type hose clips cause leaking over time. This is due to hose hardening and shrinkage.
Often these leaks are cured, simply by replacing the clip with a better, tighter clip.
