That sounds possible, but I haven't worked in that area in some time, and am unclear about what type of material is actually leaking.

Is it a hard but flexible black plastic line with a thick, protective outer covering? If so, you could carefully cut the rubber part away to make room to clamp on your "bridging" hose.

But I'm just not sure what the actual leak source is, or how close it is to the Banjo fitting, or if the diameters of the 2 points to be bridged are the same.

If it IS materially and dimensionally possible, use "Fuel Injection" rated hose (good for 90psi), and FI hose clamps as well (solid bands, rather then slotted). And use 2 clamps at each end, if room enough.

The hose and clamps should be available at any Auto Supply store.
