Brake Line (Pipe) Leak 200

First, I want to thank everyone who responded to my post looking for the part number to the hard brake line (pipe) that goes between the Junction and the passenger side wheel well. The upper of the two lines does in fact have a hole in it. Something for everyone to check. If you have an Automatic Transmission, make sure the transmission cooling lines do not touch/rub against the brake line (pipe). I guess I did not pay close enough attention when I replaced the (leaking) transmission cooling lines many years ago and one of the lines was touching the brake pipe. Finally wore a hole in it. Interestingly, the first sign there was a problem was not soft pedal or the brake failure light coming on. It was smoke coming from under the hood as brake fluid sprayed out and the fan blew it onto the exhaust manifold.
