replacement Caliper Line I need help finding that line that goes from the caliper to the axle, on the rear brakes. Brake fluid was leaking though that little square plate that sits on top of the caliper,
any one know where I can find one, or is there a way to change fitting styles?
Thanks in Advance!

Leaking between the fitting and the caliper? Your description makes me think so. Has the line recently been removed from the caliper?
If that's the case, you might just need new crush seals ... ~$3 at any O'Reilly's or Autozone. A copper looking washer that goes between the bolt flange and the banjo fitting (the square looking fitting) and then another goes between the banjo fitting and the caliper.
Make sure the banjo fitting is "clocked" properly and sits flush against the caliper. There is a lip there that can cause some interference.

Just make sure you used new copper washers on BOTH sides of the "square plate." Also, if the caliper surface still had corrosion or imperfections on the surface where the washer goes, this may cause it to leak.
If you have both washers and a clean surface and it's still leaking, just tighten it a little more until it stops, and you should be good to go.
