Took 30U sedan for a 20 minute return trip after work because just had to have a drive, about 5 minutes from home stopped at traffic lights brake pedal started sinking, I knew this is not good so drove rest of way trying not to use brakes, when I checked under car found that R/Rear copper brake pipe had split next to wheel cylinder, looks as I will have to replace all copper pipes as I can't trust it happening again

Been there, done that.  Rear brake line also.  It's a good thing they aren't fast cars!
