ok, according to my dad, i have a puddle of brake fluid at my driver rear wheel


i assume the line at that area is probably bad (to cause to leak, and have no more brake pressure)


my question is how hard is it to fix, and what parts do i need, what exactly do i need to do, and how much
(i have never replaced the brake lines on a car myself)


i figure that to get it to the shop, id have to tow it (driving with no brake pressure isnt what most would call safe)

i am also broke, so i want to do it myself because having it towed and a shop to do it would be too much, and i just spent money to replace my condensor and points



any help would be appreciated, and if anyone is in socal, let me know if you want to help when im back in town


thanks for your help,
Benjamin Matlock

my fear is that since i do not know the problem, i cant figure out what i need until i get home friday afternoon in a few weeks. when i get home, the local classic porsche shop will be closed, so i will have to wait until the next week. well, i am only home for some weekends during school, so i cant work on the car until my next visit back home. If i cant get to it in about 2 weeks (when i go home next i think) i may not get the car fixed until mid june or so. This sucks becasue i just had the car all fixed, and now it wont be driven for another 9 weeks. And this car never had enjoyed not being driven. Ill see if i can get my dad to find the leak, so i can order the parts i need, becasue i need this car to be drivable.

what a shame to have a strong running 914, warm so cal spring, and no brakes!!! i need to get the car back on the road. lol
