I think banjo bolt is the word you were looking for. But the tip
should be the right one, I had a couple of small leaks there as well, if
it leaks a lot you'll have to fix it, other wise wear increases rapidly,
be carefull when tightening the bolt, don't overdo it, otherwise it
shears off, nasty...
