i have a few of these, good used.   but if yours isnt broken/cracked - then i
bet theres nothing wrong with it.. there is a factory spring steel clamp at
the bottom that holds the plastic tube to the metal tube..  replace that with a
universal screw tightening hoseclamp..    i bet that fixes your problem.
