You can probably use zip ties or something to secure the caliper to
the spring (just be sure to put it it a location where it won't be
hit by the tire when you turn). That would probably be easier than
trying to plug the line. Just drive very carefully (slow and steady)
and be ready to compensate by turning the wheel when you use the
brakes. As long as it isn't a very long drive, I think that should
work to get you to a better area where you can do a proper repair.
