Default leaking brake line

I have a small leak in my brake line of my 96. its in the very back right corner(if you are sitting in the truck) is there a way I can replace this myself? im not very good at working on cars. so I have no idea what I need or where to start. Any help would be great, if this is beyond my doing, how much(estimate) would it cost to be repaored by a mechanic?

Just replace all of them.

If you are not comfortable doing it take the brake lines to a shop and have them do it, any brake/muffler shop can do it.

Is it a flexible line or a hard (rigid) line?
If you're not good at working on cars I'd get a mechanic to do it, brakes aren't something you want to screw up.

If a flexible line you can use the ones Spike linked to, though I prefer http://www.rovahfarm.com/DiscoIBrakes.htm
If you don't want the extra 2" length you can get stock rubber lines. Rovafarm has several to choose from.

I second Rovahfarm but I find his site is hard to navigate if you dont know exactly what you are looking for.

Default Bought the farm

Just give Trevor a call at RovaFarm... he's been having a tough time lately and could really use some income. He'll be happy to walk you through the parts needed.

I normally use google and search just that site, or look up the rover part number and search for it by PN.

Are you sure it is the brakes?

That is the same location that my '96 leaked fuel from due to a cracked overflow hose.

Just want to make sure you don't end up chasing a ghost leak.
