Friend has an 04 outback wagon and it lost its rear brakes. Now while I know newer ones have a recall what is the most likely area to have failed on the lines? I’m guessing it’s above the gas tank since that would be my luck. What’s the best way to find the failed section ? Thanks

You are going to be looking for anything that looks wet that shouldn’t still be wet if you haven’t recently washed the vehicle or driven through a puddle, etc. It’s going to be an oil spray from a pin hole most likely. Follow the rust. I had to replace my rear line on my Astro…yeah, gas tank area. Nice thing is, now you can buy brake line that you can bend by hand, so it’s easier to replace…you just need to use a good flaring tool for the ends if you have to make your own line. I’ve used it on two different vehicles with excellent results.
