VERY small leak in factory steel brake line - what should I do?
I just discovered a "pinhole" leak on one of my steel brake lines that go from the proportioning valve to the rear right brake cylinder. The leak is a few inches away from the proportioning valve and if I have someone press on the brakes I can see a very faint stream of brake fluid...
So what should I do? Can I just sandpaper it down and solder the pinhole or do I have to absolutely get a whole new line?

The best thing you could ! Why risk having brake failure ( if possible ) and putting your life and other's in danger ?

Re: (del_slow420)
Thanks everyone! I will get the brand new line then and be done with it - besides its a pain in the butt to work on those brake lines with the H22A IN the car (it's currently out) so I might as well get it done right.
