was this an earth problem ?

Hi , doing the engine mounts and a perished cv boot i decided to send the engine support bar and one side rear suspension arm for coating , so purchased a new short rear flexy and hard brake pipe.
Fitted everything back together bled rear brakes , pedal nice and hard , went to start the engine and just a click from the starter , realised i forgot the engine earth strap , gets out of the van and there's brake fluid pouring out of the new flexy pipe , 15 minutes of panic has it replaced with the old one ( good job the bin hadn't been emptied), here's a pic of the pipe looks like its had some heat but that's not possible.
