Default Reocurring vacuum leak?

1993 camry LE, 4cyl...

Very strange phenominom with a reoccuring vacuum leak...i have to replace the hose that runs from the throttle body to the Throttle opener valve about once every 2 weeks. A hole seems to manifest near where the hose connects to the throttle body vacuum stub, also with fluid showing up around that area on the hose...

Very strange! Any thoughts as to why this is happeneing? Ive replaced this hose about 5 times now. You can hear the vacuum leak from the hose whne it happens. As soon as a new hose is in place, the vacuum leak noise goes away!

Possessed car? Should i get a priest? This problem makes no sense to me at all. What would the fluid be...gasoline, oil?

The IAC valve on the throttle body has two coolant lines running to it, determine if the fluid is coolant.

If gas you should be able to smell it.

Have someone start the car while you watch the throttle opener in operation, make sure it works.

Any mice in the area?
