Lost brakes, rear line leaking. Big job to fix?

I would be more concerned with the upper part of the third picture than anything else, as that is likely to crap out sooner than anything else. Get some POR-15 and coat the bad lines. DOn't coat the fittings though. That stuff never comes off, and stops rust 100% while also sealing what could break.

Haven't spoken with the service manager yet. I was told he was out with an injury on Friday and again today.

@stang - I do need to get some of that stuff and give it a shot. I'm not really sure what you're referring to in pic 3. The bracket and hose-end fitting are rusty (and were apparently drenched in Liquid-Wrench), but the new line appears to be secure. If I need to replace the hose side of that at some point, I'm OK with that.

Finally spoke with service manager on Tuesday. He agreed to fix it. They removed the old line and put the new one back in it's place. Doesn't look like the tank was removed or lowered for that. They also bled the system again, but I still don't believe the pedal is as firm as it was or should be. I'm sick of going back there, so it will have to do for now.

could be old brake fluid, glad to hear it's fixed though
