If so, you can get a new line ($$$), get a good used line at a wrecking yard or through the parts forum, cut the line and slip rubber hose and some clamps to fix it, braze the line, etc.

You got it, the rubber has disintergrated and it is blowing out like a fire hose! I think a new one from Benz would be ridiculous too. I just hope I only have to worry about a line and not a tranny! Thanks!
