Welcome to the club, my 73 has the same problem. It seeps very slowly and the brakes feel great, but it worries me anyway.

No both washers are in there.  Had a guy tell me sometimes when the callipers are rebuilt the sandblasting leaves some pits on the callipers where the copper washer fits.  Told me to try and grind or polish that area where the washer fits.  Tried that still no luck.

I had that problem once. Found some thicker brass washers and it cured the leak.
