Help! Brake line is leaking!!
some connector is spraying out brake fluid when i hit the brakes. i need to get it fixed cus its obviously a probably if i cant stop. there is some rust on it, its 10 years old and i live in PA. i just finished putting my 4inch lift on, but were it is leaking doesnt seem to me like that would be a spot if i overflexed.

With 4" of lift, you may have streched the flex hose too much. The rubber hose should never straighten out. Jack up one side at a time and then both checking the hose each time. Get a longer one if the current is not long enough. I would also recommend steel braided lines which swell less under high pressure and convert more of the pedal travel into braking force.

like notop said, you need to replace your lines, they are maxed out and you continue to have this problem untill you do. they look like factory lines, how much lift do you have?
