Check for leaks in the lines . Make sure all fittings are snug and have no moisture on them .When you changed the hose and caliper did the master cylinder loose fluid ?

You may need to bled the master cylinder if it got air in it it must be bled separately .

If air can get out so can liquid so keep an eye on the brake fluid level in the master cylinder.
