JB Weld and the like will NOT fix this issue. You will have to splice the line at the very least. Take it to a local bolt store that also makes up lines A/C, hydraulic and other high pressure lines. They should be able to get you fixed up. Hope this helps.

Not that I know of. If it's leaking then the inside tubing is problem, not the outside braid. I believe replace the entire line or cut at the trouble spot and install 2 new female fittings and 1 male/male connector.
