Depends how long the pipe is and where it's routed. Could be as little as £30.

It isn't necessarily a pipe. It could be one of the metal pipes down near to the wheel, they're not expensive. It could be the flexible pipe onto the caliper, again, cheap. It could, however, be a seal on the caliper, which will be moderately expensive to repair.

Please don't drive the car while you're leaking brake fluid. If the garage is 2 minutes down the road, fair enough. If its 10 miles away, either get a mobile mechanic to look at it, or get it on the back of a low-loader.
