Unfortunately, the 2 piece plastic shields ahead of the front tire on the left side fender well needs to be removed to get access to the other end of this hose. You may need to postpone replacing it until after the car can be moved and the screws that hold that panel in place can be accessed (most easily done with the tire/wheel off, of course!.
The reservoir could have been overfilled and brake fluid flowed onto the master cylinder. Brake fluid QUICKLY dissolves paint, so it would become unprotected steel, which rusts quickly in air if the relative humidity is above 50-60%.
Great work you are doing in the Tabi garage'. Took a ride in one on a visit to Berlin a few years back. Certainly not built by Porsche!! - HA.

I think you have somthing here...I pulled off the cap for the to the brake fluid resiviour and whe I put it back on it did not close completly...looks like the plastic threads are striped, so turn too far equals loose.
I start from the back - remove the muffler, (or just the connections to the muffler if possible), then the tubes that connect from the headpipes to the muffler can be 'twisted' in order to break up the corrosion between the pipes at the joint you show. Might spray some penetrating oil into that junction as well and let set overnight before twisting those pipes and pulling them to the rear for removal. Always worked on all 7 928's I've owned in the past 25 years!
