Default Brake Line Replacement

So we got the van's serpentine belt on and it works it seems. There are still problems with it which I hope to get fixed soon. One I think is the brake lines. I think this because near the tire I saw liquid leaking. My mom drove it to her place today and also mentioned the brakes were stiff as well. I do plan on flushing the brake fluid and someday replacing them, but I feel like the brake line needs replacing. Does it take much to do that? What are your thoughts and suggestions on the matter?

Depends on which lines you are replacing. Some require removal of other parts to get to, some dont. I would figure out which one is leaking and fix/replace that one first. Driving around with leaking brake lines is a recipe for disaster.

Yea the drivers side front one is where I saw the leak. I see it's hard to work with but better in the long run so might go stainless steel.
