No corrosion from the outside. But with a bit of moisture in the brake lines
you can have corrosion forming on the inside.
I'm guessing here ... Since planes sit for a very long time between uses.
And water is heavier than oil ... Or brake fluid.
I'm guessing the pin holes are in one of two places:
1 - Along the BOTTOM of the brake lines, [water settling along the bottom] or
2 - Along the seam of the brake line, if the tubing was ROLLED as opposed to
EXTRUDED. Rolled tubing has to be welded, when you weld you chance the
chemical make up at the location of the weld. This is true no matter how much
you
try to use proper weld materials or atmosphere.
