Rear steel brake line advice?
Ok so my rear brake line the supplies brake fluid to both my rear brakes has a pinhole in it. I've never delt with replacing one. should I just buy one and from where? Or what would you do? Thanks, it's a 98 v6 camaro.

If it's hard lines, look here to save time with pre-bent ones:

If it's soft lines, replace them all with some stainless steel braided lines, like Goodridge or similar.

Remove your old steel line and measure the length. You can use a regular tape measure, but a sewing measuring tape works real well for following the contour of the bends. Go to the parts store and buy the correct length tube (nearest size without going under), with the flared ends on it. The tubing is easy to bend, either using a tubing bender (can buy relatively cheap), or by bending it around a curved surface (tire, rim, coffee or soup can, etc.). You can also carefully "fine tune" a bend by hand, being careful not to kink the tube. DO NOT use a compression fitting to splice a new tube to old, that's just an accident waiting to happen.
