R56 Brake Lines

Got in my 2011 R56S yesterday and the brakes were soft. Today I looked and found a fluid leak on the passenger side front and decided it’s from the break lines.

Im almost positive that I know what lines need replaced but I can’t find the part anywhere. The leak seems to be coming from the metal brake lines inside the engine bay, not the rubber ones that go into the caliper. The line I need to find is the one that comes from a hole near the top of the strut and runs between the engine and firewall to the drivers side. The line is attached to the firewall with yellow clips if that helps you know what I’m referring to. Not sure I’m exactly where the leak is so I want to replace the whole thing.

Any idea where I can find the part? I’ve looked online but am not having any luck.

Pelican is usually really good for stuff like this on my old 911. If they do not have it, they know someone who does and are super friendly. Ask for a Mini specialist.
