The washer are copper not brass. Reason being that copper is far softer and will squash to form a seal.

The washers can be rejuvenated by removing them and heating them with an oxy torch to red hot so they are annealed and go back to their "soft" state. Off the shelf copper washers might be too hard. The manufacturing process may use a die or punch which will cause them to work harden and they will be useless.

I would first tighten them to the manufactures spec of 20 N.m using a good quality torque wrench.

Do not overtighten as the oil banjo bolt as it is made of copper (or copper coated) and might snap off if your not careful.
