That needs to be fixed or you will have a fire. If you see where it is leaking, cut out the bad section and replace with a new section of line.

You might be able to fashion a temporary patch using a tube or Seal All and a strip of heavy material like denim. Soak it good with Seal All, wrap it around the line and let it dry. It's kind of crude but it may keep you moving till you can fix it properly.

Seal All. It comes in a bright yellow tube and is available at pretty well all auto parts and building supply stores. It's amazing stuff.
