try removing the rubber brake hose from the body mount and see if you get fluid from the metal fitting, if so you have a bad rubber brake hose(not uncommon) replace the hose and re-bleed the caliper. If there is still no fluid then follow the metal brake line from that side, it maybe crushed somewhere. if it checks out the the distribution block may have a problem internally and will need replaced.
