my guess is a wear hole. not sure why me slamming on brake to keep out of garage would blow it out??
i used a pipe cutter. plumbing tool, to cut the section of pipe out.
then used compression fitting. picked up a straight section of brake line.. 6 inches or so. and cut to needed length
6 bucks in parts.
leaks gone. but pedal is still smush and lights still on.
