When I took out my coolant pipes, I found the same thing. There was pitting thast went straight through the aluminum pipe right at a junction with a rubber hose. You may not notice a leak, becuase it's on the hot side, it could spray out gaseously and disappear. Once I blew a rubber hose, and the only telltale (besides the billow of white smoke out the back of the car) was that some of it recondensed onto the (cold) rear fascia. I lost at least 2 gallons of anitfreeze, and mopped up less than a cup's worth off the car.
