I really dont know what I'm looking at in these pics. Is that a rubber tube that is suppose to slip over a metal pipe...... of which is now rusted away?

If so... how about brazing in copper pipe to replace the rusted out one. Eleminate the problem copper does not rust. You could maybe cut out some of the rusted away metal if it is more than just the pipe that rusted out and weld or screw? in a plate with the copper pipe already brazed to it.

Just my .02. Yeah I know. easier said than done. I can see this working but I dont have the skills to do something like that myself.

I have a leak in my trunk I cant find.
