I just recalled that the source of the leakage on mine was a real slow seepage out of the mini vacuum tank. This was a couple years back when I was testing the tubes with a handheld vacuum pump. It totally doesn't matter as the pump sucks air way faster than anything could possibly leak out besides a torn diaphragm.

I guess if my pump turned on every 5 seconds, I'd try to improve that, but otherwise it is just an academic discussion.
