Welcome to The Forum and your first post, some good info glad u r OK, Change the brake line as soon as possible, compression fittings should never be used as a permanent repair for brake lines:s

All my brake lines are braided stainless steel which tend to be a wee bit more robust and there is a fair bit of movement of these brake lines due to the suspension moving
These should all be inspected during a service and in this country inspected during annual mot inspection
