My '93 Saturn SL1 has corrosion on the brakeline, about midway between the engine and the rear wheels. The symptom was the brake light coming on during my commute home (brakes still worked OK), and discovering the brake fluid reservoir very low, and fluid like material on the corroded brake line. Is the replacement of the brakelines an expensive proposition, like $100 or a $1000? I don't think I personally have the skills to do this, and bleed the lines. The car has 102,000 miles, and otherwise runs fine, but 15 years in the rust belt does bad things to most exposed metal, even if the plastic body looks like new.
