There are two crush washers on either side of the banjo bolt that you should plan on replacing in the future. Obviously you reused them which is ok if you are not leaking fluid around the banjo bolt. These washers are made of soft metal and are designed to crush down when the bolt is banjo bolt is torqued. When they crush, they form a really tight seal around the banjo bolt. Since it’s your brakes, I’d recommend getting the washers relatively soon and plan on replacing them next time you’re working on the brakes. If you’re going to be bleeding the brakes anyway and if you can drop by an Acura dealership to pick up a couple washers then I’d replace them now just for piece of mind.

You should be ok just bleeding the one wheel. It should only take 3-4 brake pump cycles clear up your problem. Don’t worry about bleeding the ABS system since the fluids are physically separate. If after bleeding the one wheel, you still feel a soft pedal, then go you’ll need to bleed all four corners. www.danoland.com/nsxgarage/brakes/bleed/bleed.html
