replace the hose and bleed the brakes.. if you do the work yourself it should be a cheap fix.

get some SS brake lines while your at it just do em all. Its not too hard but ull def want someone to help bleed em, may even be worth it to get a shop to bleed em, they can be a real pain.

Bleeding isnt that bad. You can have anyone push the pedal while you turn the bolt. Just remember to bleed your master cylinder first then start with the rite rear then left rite, front rite then front left. -Shane
