Brakes problem
1992 Ford Tempo 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 260K miles

I have just installed new rear brake lines from the master cylinder to the rear wheels. I was just wondering if there is some sort of a splitter device or something located somewhere in the front of the car, in the frame because now when I attempt to bleed the brakes, I have brake fluid pouring out of the frame area right behind the drivers side tire.

Sounds like you missed something when you did replacement. Especially if you used old information/previously memorized procedure. Not all brake line systems are identical. Or fixing 1 thing broke another. Also replacing line next to another can cause crack in line not being replaced from disturbance. Old lines if they have a rust spot can be fragile. Inspect leak closely and find source.
