Recently the brake fluid has been leaking out of my line, but not inside, (master cylinder), and not from the boot of the slave, but from the fitting from the hard line into the slave. The leak has continously gotten worse and it now just sprays out when the predal is pressed in. I replaced that part of the slave, (part with the bleed valve and banjo bolt), but it didn't fix it. So I guess all thats left is to replace the hard line and the fitting, (but I don't see any crack in the line and the fitting looks fine).
What places would sell the hydraulic line that I need?

If you want exact fit, try Bob Kise at Fenton Chrysler (810-714-3300). The hard line is only about $12. Or you could probably buy a piece of standard, pre-flared brake line and bend it to shape. It is possible that someone tightened the line using a standard open-end wrench and crushed the fitting (a special wrench is required).

What is this special wrench called and who sells it. Maybe thats why my problem worsened. But from the get go, it was leaking. And I used an open end wrench to take the line off. Whoops.
They support the nut better to keep you from crushing it. This is really important if you have to put alot of torque on one of these nuts (to break it loose or stop a leak).
