Evidently I haven't explained it well enough for you to deduce there was no open end. The fluid was escaping from a tiny corrosion-induced split next to the pipe-to-caliper union. Invisible among the road dirt and fluid. Mole grips tightened a convenient right-angle bend and then, with increasing pressure, sealed the pipe.
Otherwise open brake pipes are covered with a 'finger' from used protective gloves and secured with gardening wire. Anyone saying 'Marigolds' at this point will be ignored.
