I have a 1997 Ford Taurus GL V6 3.0L. Just noticed my car is leaking break fluid from a line that runs between the rear passenger and rear driver wheel got under the car and the leak is coming from directly from the middle of the rubber line running between the two rear tires. Any idea on how to fix that or can the middle line be cut and repaired or placed and is there a diagram for this? I Need help

Hello,

You will need to replace the leaking hose. This is a brake rubber hose and not metal right?
I attached the rear brake hose replace procedure and bleeding procedure. Make sure when you are bleeding the brakes you don't let the master cylinder go empty. If this happens you will have to start all over again bleeding system.
