Blew a brake line, the rear one. I was able to drive back home / refilling the master cylindera couple times and driving slowly. Strangely, there's usually a red light that will pop when the front/rear pressure bias is thrown off by a leak, but I did not see any - only the low fluid warning between refills. ...and then, this will need to be fixed. not a fun activity. But actually, at 236,000km, it's about time a brake line gives  |

...my experience is that once it starts leaking, it will leak elsewhere, so I may just get pissed and have every rusty line replaced $$$$.

...or use a full stainless steel brake line kit. These exist for our 01-03 Auroras...

i bought a set for 99 aurora. not a single line matches the car. inline tube, they wouldnt take it back without half the cost in shipping and restock. it matched the physical picture on website for car.
no idea about 2g.

Hopefully the set I bought will work While I can't drive the car & until I get the brake lines I ordered, I will work on changing the valve cover gaskets + the intake manifold gaskets too |

take pictures please.. andwhen you get your set, could you unroll them per instructions and show me? The lines all have bend instructions that are easily done, but if your lines look like mine then i know i have 2g lines instead of 1g
