Default need a second opinion

What's up guys. I recently bought an accord coupe from some Guy. I already swaped a jdm h22 along with tranny. I was so into the swap that I didn't even bother mess with the brakes. Now today I filled the brake fluid reservoir and I quickly saw it drain out. I looked under the car and it was squirtin out under the gas tank. It seems like someone had Mickey moused it with something. Should I just slide some power steering hose over it and clamp it? Or just replace the whole line
I know replacing the line would be better but I'm not trying to go threw all that
Basically I. Just want to know if my idea would work

I would replace the whole line. Sliding a power steering hose over a cracked hose won't fix the leak.

Absolutely not!

Anything short of either a steel line or a steel reinforced flex hose is NOT rated for the pressures that a brake system generates.

Do it correctly and you'll be able to enjoy that H22 for a whole lot longer.

Why not just pick up a kit or something? I would imagine autozone has them for sale.
