Default Brake fluid hose splitter is leaking

Hi, I have a c3 79 vette and I found out one of the hoses split (see image attached) that transports the break fluid is leaking. Does anyone know what type of proper replacement I should put to stop the leaking?



Thank you
Siol.

That's not a brake line. Probably an emissions hose. What's leaking from it?

Green is usually antifreeze. Brake fluid is clear when new.

due to the fact that it has a plastic tee , i would have to say that its a vacuum hose of some sort, therefore i believe that the coolant is leaking or spraying onto it, rather than leaking from it. you may wish to look around the thermostat housing to see if it is seeping or spraying out when your engine is hot. also check the heater hoses as they connect to the engine in the same area and of course the upper radiator hose is right there as well. please note that i am not an expert, but i did sleep at a holiday inn express,.... once, ......kinda..... good luck.
