Default Brake(s) line is leaking

the leak is coming from under the battery on the passengers side??
I pour the fluid in and press the brakes-and it POURS out, under the car. Nuttin inside under the floor board...but it does look like it is coming out of a little small cavity space that I can't really get to.?? Could be the line is corroded under the battery??? sprung a hole?? Its metal dealership part I assume??

i think I can get a tube bender and make another one myself if it is to much?

Well any thoughts, The battery holder might need to come off, but I still can not see through that cavity?? where the line dives into?

Probably caused by battery acid or rust eating through the tubing.

You need to pin-point where the leak is coming from exactly, Could be the master cylinder, or just a pin hole in the rubber brake lines. If it's the metal tubing, you will be better off buying another one (be it OEM, aftermarket, or junk yard) because the ends need to be properly flared and the nut holding it in place must be properly sized.

Remove the battery tray, add brake fluid, and have a friend depress the brakes. Trace it back until you locate the leak. Either way, you'll have to bleed your brakes when done.

That's dangerous and really need tube replacements. Look where the fluids are really coming then try to know if it's the brake fluids, water or some other watery substance in your ride and you need to replace the tubes or if it's just rusting, if cleaning and putting some stuffs to stop the leaking will be a good solution before replacing anything.
