Rear brake line leak

tomcatMember

I had a "mushy" brake pedal and noticed brake fluid on my wheels (both rear).

There is moisture (brake fluid) where the flex line meets the rear caliper.

What is the "normal" failure mode (fitting, gasket, O-ring, etc...) at this joint and what is the fix?

I have a great local hot rod shop that does stainless steel custom...what measurements/standard would they need to get the right length and compatible fitting?

Do I REALLY need a special wrench to do this?
Thanks,
Tom
