The brake fluid is leaking out from the brake line which runs from the front driver's side of car to the back (about 7 ft. long and has bend and curves). I was trying to find replacement lines made of stainless steel braid but was told it was not a good idea. Is there some kind of cement, glue or other product I can use to repair the line instead of replacing it?

The only way to repair it woul dbe toi use atubing cutter and double-flare kit.Use the tubing cutter to remove the smallest amount of line possible, then flare the ends and use a thread -together connector to secure them together
