Hey cl I have a leak in my rear BRAKE** line its rusted out what's the best way to fix it ?

** I had originally thought it was a bad fuel line because my car was breaking up on acceleration.

I would say get the whole line replaced that way you would have zero rust.

your best bet is to change out the line and when you done you should put some under coating on it so it dont rust out

Def change that line, and def spray some 3m undercoating. We get a ****load of salt on the roads for the snow here. I'm in queens, and I make sure to get the bottom washed frequently during the winter. We got snow comin in tomorrow night and on thursday too smh.
