Howdy folks -- I have done a little searching and will continue to do so, but if anyone's compelled to share their thoughts on SLS (hydraulic) hard line repair, I'm all ears. I just discovered a pretty fast leak in one of my lines under one of the mounting brackets. Looks like these brackets are perfect for holding moisture, so no surprise there, eh? I am guessing these lines really ought to be replaced only with equivalent metal lines. I see that the others have used a flaring tool and done their own. Any other options? Any do-able temp fixes to keep the system from running dry? This is on an '80 300D Euro SEDAN, for what it's worth. SLS appears to be working fine otherwise -- no sag.

Thanks!

Chris
