Preventing Dripping Brake Fluid

I removed my LS1 caliper so I can return it for a new one. But fluid will start dripping out once I unbolt the banjo bolt from the caliper. So, is there any way to prevent the fluid from dripping out once I remove it from the caliper? Thanks.

Grab some wire and get the line facing up in the air. Gravity is your friend. That should work. Or you could just put a little rubber cap over it or something.

I don't think the little cap would work. I tried bolting the hose to my old LT1 caliper and it still leaked out of there, even with some kind of new copper washers. I just let it drain since I have to bleed the brakes anyways.
