Brake line....MAJOR leak
Just started it up a while ago and noticed when i took handbrake off, the light on dash didnt go off, so checked under hood and noticed brake fluid was savage low, and i had checked this about 2 weeks ago so checked under body and found this, im looking for a genuine toyota part number for the brake line i need as i can get toyota parts next day delivery, anyone know it????? or at least can find it????

Cheers
Actaully rang my local toyota dealer...wait till you hear his response
"it will cost you loads of money to replace that part thru us, heres the number for a guy who will make you a pipe"
so i took pipe off, brought it to him and 3 hours later i fitted it, did a full brake fluid change all round and ive never had such good brakes

Just a suggestion, you might want to check the rest of your brake lines. If one rusted all the way through, the rest might not be far behind. I would at least press the brake pedal real hard and see if any of the others blow. I had a brake hose blow in an old Chevy and it turned out that most of the brake system needed to be replaced. Hopefully yours was just smashed by a rock or something, but it is probably a good idea to check if you have not done so already.
