Are these brake lines?

There are five (metal?) lines going on the left side of the car bottom from the front to the rear. They are covered by some type of splash guard.
I can't raise the car right now so this is what I can see by just looking under. What is confusing that it doesn't look like any of these lines go to the wheels directly (again, I can't raise my car rigt now).

My warning brake light went in today. I added some brake fluid and it went out but I found a slight bleeding from those lines so I'm wondering if they are break lines.

take some cutters. Cut open the wire. If brake fluid spills, you found em. If it's fuel, dont swallow.

I'm bored

Be sure to use a lighter to inspect the cut lines...

The spill doesn't smell like fuel. It's rather brake fluid.

Question: can I drive the car if the spillage is not very serious? I need to survive till the next weekend and then fix it.
