Leaking Brembo
My front driverside brembo has a leak, its coming from the brake line connection that loops underneath (see pic). anyone able to assist me with locating this part or if there is a seal.

That looks bad. Looks corroded I would replace the caliper. Brakes are not something to skimp on.

Honestly to me it doesn't look like corrosion. Looks like a bad paint job and a dirty caliper. Could that line have been removed at some point for the paint? The line is just a flared hardline. I would try to snug the fitting down a little. If they were removed the flare could have been cracked if over tightened. If thats the case, you can buy new crossovers from this place.

I had a bleeder corrode and take all of the threads with it on one caliper. If they are stripped out or pulled the threads out I'm not sure they could be fixed easily. A machine shop could but might as well replace the caliper at that point.
