Default What part is this called and how do I change it? Brake Line

I have some leakage! I need to know the name of this part. If you can't tell in the picture it is by the rear driver side wheel. Brake fluid is leaking out of it. 98 Accord v6 ex coupe

if that is brake fluid then the part in the pic is not the problem. That part doesnt contain brake fluid. Clean that part, caliper and the area around the brake hose w/ degreaser and press the brake pedal to try to get the leak to start up again and see when it is coming from. Could be caliper piston boot, banjo nut washer or hole on brake line.

Good answer here..I think that you do what he said here and then look for new leakage..
