Well Volks, in typical airhead fashion I've been totally ignoring (because it terrifies me, no doubt) my own little problem which is that I've sprung a leak in the line going aft on the right side. I need it fixed pronto and I could use any and all advice, particularly gotchas lurking if I do it myself versus different gotchas from a shop or from <gasp> the dealer. I presume that it would be richly foolish to simply patch up the offender and not replace the rest; is that too cautious? And to the nearest thousand or two, what might I be looking at?
