I've never seen one of the steel lines rust through, but I suppose 
anything is possible. The first thing I would check is whether it is 
possible that there is a hose lead at one end or the other which is 
running down the steel tube and into the tunnel. You will have to 
check both ends, 4 hoses in all. It will probably be important to 
check these with the pump running so that there is pressure in the 
line. It is common for the rubber hoses to develop cracks and leak.

If you have a hose problem I recommend that you replace it ALL.

Let us know what you find.
