I'm with you on this. The hard lines tend to either split or develop pin-holes at (obvious) rub-points. Anyplace there is a vertical bend (forming a "u"), at unions or where a hard line touches either the body or a clamp are all spots that corrosion tends to initiate.

Usually the fluid will "weep" out of a small pin-hole and you will notice an unusually rapid loss of fluid in the reservoir before the brakes give any indication of trouble at the pedal.

Bad flex-lines are another matter entirely!
