Does not always play well with others
Your best bet is to use copper/nickel brake line when you repair the system.

It's not a " porous " material. A sponge is porous. The steel line has leak, a material failure. Possible causes , road damage, chaffing induced by vibration, corrosion trapped in line clamps, installation errors.A quick update seeing as I've found the source of the leak. A brand new in July last year copper coated steel pipe is porous just forward of where it is held against the frame rail by a plastic bolted on clip (forward of the fuel filter). I'll know better (maybe) when I remove it if it has corroded or what has caused its porosity but I don't think it is wear (eg, rubbing against frame).
Struggling to believe that an eight month old pipe has failed but that is what has happened.
Ouch. Only 8 months and it was that bad? Looks much older than or like it spent its life in salt spray.Maybe, under a magnifying glass I'll find a split, pin-hole, or some other defect but for now all I know is it leaked. An eight month old pipe looking like this.

Given that the above has happened, do I need to reset it and if so, how?IIRC that light is triggered by an imbalance in the pressure between the front and rear brake systems.
There’s a switch near the MC that’s connected to both systems. A pressure imbalance between them pushes the switch’s internal contacts so that contact is made and the electrical circuit closed.
I don’t know that it actually detects low fluid, it may simply detect the result of low fluid.
Thick walled copper with a protective plastic coating.Go back with coated steel or were you able to source NiCopp?
