Sound like your leader may have got it or it has just split because of hinging
at that point.Id just cut it off,make sure your line has dried,dab the end with superglue to seal it let dry and fit new loop.

i would also add, rub aquasure into loop(braid) where end of fly line is ,as superglue isnt totally waterproof and will ingress water at some point...
