my guess:
you had your tires changed and the installer saw a rubber spacer (that is used to cushion the brake line somewhere upstream on the brake line) and didn't know where it went so he pushed it down on top of the crimp where the brake line meets the caliper.
if I'm right that rubber spacer needs to be moved back to where it is supposed to go Its purpose is to stop the brake line from rubbing metal and getting a hole in it

this is what it should look like^
other than the rubber grommet guess I'd say stay away from the pressure washer they have very corrosive cleaners.
Id wipe the fittings down with honda cleaner or spray some CRC 3-36 corrosion inhibitor (or similar product) on a rag and carefully wipe a small film onto fittings. be sure not to allow it on your brake rotors.

Here are how mine look after 15 months in dry CA weather...
I will call them later today to find out.
Hi
Yes, Hel Performance made them and i can get you a kit if needed (with free brembo brake fluid).
It's a 5 lines kit and retail at £149.99
Drop me a PM if still interested.
Also might do a group buy with 10% discount if more then 5 people will be interested.
