hey ya'll, ive almost got my integra to the point it needs to be in order to make this 222 mile trip back home next thursday, so after puttin new pads and rotors on the rear, i went to test everything out, started her up, put her in reverse, eased back a lil bit, and upon pressing the brake pedal, i had barely any stopping power at all, and on the Second pump of the brakes, I barely got the car to stop =( I then got out, and immediately noticed a trail comin from about the middle of the underside of the car, a quite heavy and steady trail of fluid, and then upon further investigation, discovered one of the brake lines had at least a smalll hole in it, cause when the car is running and i press the brake pedal, a high pressure spray comes directly from the suspect area on the line....
guys im on a deadline and there is no other options in my wheelhouse....i have until next thursday to have this problem completely solved so I can feel confident about taking the car a couple hundred miles down the road safely. Thought maybe cutting the problem section out of the line and splicing in an 8 in. section that Autozone sells and using compression fittings to secure it?? or possibly just cutting out the tiniest section of the line and using one compression fitting?? Please, your thoughts and suggestions are and will be a godsend for me at this point =/
ps,
The brake line in question is the one furthest away, i.e. the one closest to the exhaust pipe, and the leak is about 3 inches back from the bend in the line
