Canada Brake Flud Leak

Hi guys, first time poster (first major issue too), long time reader. The other day I noticed the brake warning light on, then discovered a leak and fluid missing in the reservoir. From what I could tell from the pavement, it was leaking from the center of the car just in front of the B-pillar underneath. What do you think is the source of the leak, the rear hose or something else. As for parts, do you have any recommendations for suppliers that ship to Canada? Thanks!

just get some brake line patch fittings and a 20 foot coil of line and patch in at clean line from the proportioning valve and run new lines all the way back to the brake hoses. You can skip getting a double flare tool if you buy some short bits of pre-flared line to patch in where you have to connect to things that need double flare. Once you disturb one line to fix it, the other will also leak and there is a chance you'll have rusted fuel lines also that need to be replaced when you're done.

I posted earlier how much line you need for each side. REPLACE ALL since anyhtung you disturb now will leak later!
