Is the line broken/rusted off @ the wheel cylinder? If so it's time for at least a new line, wheel cylinder, and bleed the system.

Is the leak definitely coming from the line or could it be coming from inside the drum. It's not uncomon for the fittings on the lines to be different lengths if the line or lines have been changed before.
