Just found out my brake line that runs along the axle is leaking really bad, looks like right in the middle and I think it happened when I got it stuck yesterday. Is there an easy fix for this?

Replace it is the only proper fix. It will also be the easiest in the long run.

When replacing mine,the line was rusted so bad it broke off at the flare fitting.I had to get adapters to fit the correct line to the t-fitting. The T-fitting is 1 size larger than the fitting at the caliper. Hopefully you'll be able to reuse the larger fitting on the new pipe.

Ok thanks for the tip, now I have a question on the line, from what i can see it looks like one solid line from one caliper to the other? And the nuts on the calipers are sorta kinda stripped. Someone told me that it cant be a solid line? Any ideas?

There is a flex line that runs from the frame to a junction block on the front driver side of the pumpkin. 2 hard lines come from the block, one toward each caliper. Near each caliper, the hard line converts to a roughly 6" long flex hose that goes to the caliper.
