severed line
I was underneath the rear end of leo this morning and i noticed a severed line. now im not a mechanic so bare with my butchery...
It lookes like it attaches to a T fitting that has two smaller lines running into the rear brakes, i think its a brake flud line or something there of. i tried to follow the other end of it and made it about a foot and a half where it mounts to the driver side rear fender. plugs into another splice fitting and goes nowhere...
What is it for?
Where is is supposed to be fed from?
How bad is it that i have been driving around on it for who knows how long?

thanks bill... good to know. should i bother replacing the severd tube to remount it to the fender or dont worry about it?
if there is tube there i assume its for more then just pretty way to waste money and resources...
