ned2683,
I would suspect the repair you performed. The superglue is relatively rigid and the tube in that area fails because it flexes whenever the door opens and closes. I would also be suspicious of the superglue bond to the tubing. Any separation of the bond and you would have another leak. Try cutting the bad section out and splicing the two ends with one of the rubber connectors used in the rest of the system. Or, to test the area in question to see if it is leaking still, wrap it in electrical tape. Then go for the splice fix. The repaired area however would always be my first place to check, even after the splice, when you see evidence of a leak. Good luck, Jim
