a hydraulics technician once told me that whenever a copper washer is being used as the seal, first make sure its really soft (anneal it if not) and when tightening it before coming up to final torque - about 10% short loosen and tighten the bolt/nut about 5 times, then finally torque it down.
I also follow this on the oil sump washer and the ATF pan washer too. It doesnt even seep.
