Hi and welcome to the forum.

I moved your post to the S40 section. Hopefully you can get help there.

 

Are you familiar with a banjo bolt? Your brake hose is held to the caliper with a banjo bolt that allows fluid through it. It also has copper washers. You simply unscrew the bolt holding the brake hose to the caliper. You will need to clean it before reattaching. The leaking brake fluid tends to wash dirt onto the previously clean sealing surface.

 

I have calipers from a 2001 volvo S40, super cheap! LMK if you want one I can mail it to you in a flat rate box.
