Brake line was leaking break fluid 2 feet in front of the driver side back wheel, all new brake lines are in the car, still have brake fluid leaking from same spot. Why is this happening.

Its either coming from the caliper or in between the master cylinder and the brake booster

Have you tried to see where it is coming from? Is the brake line replaced all the way to the front? If you replaced them, are there any unions to splice two short lined together to make one?

After thought. Are you sure the bleeder on the wheel cylinder (or caliper) is tight?
