Default Weird power steering leak.

So I have a power steering leak and what strikes me as odd is the type of leak it is.
Its coming from a pinhole in the dead center of the line.
I have seen leaks around the crimps where the hoses join and at the nipples or cracks but I have never seen just a pinhole.

Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks

So after some more research apparently pinholes develop over time and this isn't all that unusual.

i don't get it, what's your question?

so you have a leak, you know where and what it is, you should probably fix it.

I was curious as to if perfect pinhole leaks were common. It was just odd to me where and what type of leak it was. ordering the line today.
