No comment! But it failed pressure testing the brakes.

i still havent solved the problem yet. a fellow s2ker offered me a free set of stock brake lines. thank you. the only thing is that he lives a pretty good distance away so its gona be tough for me to pik those up. as of now the left rear brake is pretty much locked up. it is tough for me to do the repairs little by little considering this is my only veh hopefully it wont screw anything up while driving like that. but i really dont have a choice. thanks for all of the input guys, i really appreciate it. i will update once i am finished to see if the brake lines are the prob.

You have other issues than brake lines! BRAKE LINES DO NOT MAINTAIN PRESSURE ON THE CALIPER. If pressure is not being relieved off of the caliper then you are destine to kill pads, discs, bearings, and so on... More time = more money! You need to check your hand break. If that is not it then you need to bring the S into a brake shop since it is ONLY your left rear break that is f'd which could be anti lock brake solenoid/valve for that corner of the S.

It could be the brake line but it could be something else too. I would have someone check it out before you send good money after bad. Brakes are something you don't want to tak a chance on.
