have you used them ?
pump the brake leaver to move the pistons,then use a C clamp to push the pistons back,
a soft seal makes for a good brake system,

I had the same thing, new pistons , meticulously cleaned all of the original components, day after fitting one leaked, that was over a year ago and no leaks since, I put it down to residual oil I'd maybe not cleaned off the calliper/piston post assembly, hopefully yours will be the same.
