You splicing them should be fine as long as you used the proper lines. Leave it that way. Coat the lines with POR15 if you are in the rust belt. That is the sauce.

Brake fluid leak at an individual location will not render you brake less. You have a bunch of time till you lose enough fluid to empty out the reservoir. I know this because a drilled rotor blew up on me once destroying most everything attached to and including my wheel. No brakes. Bent the line, squished it, and drove home with it dripping. So keep it cool with those rusted lines, just don't leave them that way. Address the issue.
