The hydraulic lines are two separate lines. The one that comes off the master cylinder and the line that comes off the slave cyl. They connect together with a male and female quick disconnect fitting.
Which of your lines are leaking?? The line that comes off the master or line on the slave??

Well,,,, Good news and BAD NEWS. First the BAD news... GM does NOT sell just the line.. The good news is,, you can probably have one made.. Look in GOOGLE for your area and see if you can find a place that make hydraulic lines. Motorcycle/ 4 wheel shops are good places to look. Sometimes,,, they can use your fittings and make it work.

Buy a used one, knock out roll-pin, install replacement line, you're done.
