Front wheel driver's side there is a small brake fluid leak on the bottom caliper bolt area. It appears to be coming from either the bottom brake line fitting or perhaps the top one...but I can't tell.

How to determine if it's the caliper or not? Anyone had similar problem? I don't think it's the brake line fitting because it's pretty tight..but could be b/c I remember it being a bear to thread when I did the strut job about six months ago. (I removed one line at caliper for some reason I can't remember...the passenger side was disconnected at soft end)..anyway,
Can the caliper piston develop a leak?
