Default Brake fluid leak?

Help! I was in my driveway after moving my car trailer with my 04 Dakota V-8 4x4, when the brakes went to the floor. I tried pumping them up, and again to the floor. Underneath, long puddle of brake fluid under driver side with fluid pouring out of the frame. I am thinking brake line burst. How do you fix that? lines into the frame? Parts? Happen to anybody else? Thanks,
Toomstone

Well if it is the lower lines I just bought both of mine for $33 from rock auto parts they were about $12 a piece for my truck.

Just go get new lines. Figure how much you need to go from your rear to your portioning valve. Fyi depending on the rust factor when you fix one others start to leak. I started replacing my rear line on my truck by the time I was done I had all new brake lines front to back. After you would tighten one the other old one would leak.
