I've seen this line fail in the same place when there is no rubber cushion between the line and the clamp.
The simplest way to get going again is have the line brazed (hard soldered) with a sleeve around the pipe to stop the leak. A new line will be more costly and special order from the dealer.
Wrap it with a piece of thin rubber or better yet use an Adel (MS21919) type clamp so it won't rub and fail again.
