    Brake line (hard) keep splitting! please help?!

    I have an ABY avant and the same brake line from the master cylinder keeps splitting, a little scary! It is the same line evry time which is the pipe that runs out closest to the turbo pipe on top of the engine (RHD). I have replaced the pipe twic now but it keeps happening. If anyone could shed any light on this or has experienced a similar problem any help would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks

          If a solid pipe is splitting, then it must be getting flexxed rather a lot to fail in that way.

          Is the pipe properly clamped down or could be getting twisted / stretched with chassis movement.

          Photo required to understand where though...
