Hey all, my brakes went on me last night and thankfully I was able to get the car safely to my girlfriends house with downshifting and the E-Brake. I took pictures of where I believe the leak is. Can someone help me out and tell me what they think I'll need to replace based on the picture? Image

Looks like the union is leaking, fill it up with fluid and have someone pump the brakes for you and youll see where the leak is coming from

I would agree with mrmoose on this one. Take the wheel off, clean everything the best you can then fill it up and it should leak out a drop or two at a time, or like he said, pump the pedal and see where it is. If you just need a hardline, you can pick up Armorflex Brake line at NAPA, you ca bend the stuff super easy and it is almost impossible to kink, I think I picked up an 8 inch section and once bent it was fine.
