Checked that spot in the convoluted tubing and it checked out okay, but thanks because I can now see where it would fatigue there. So next I used a pair of needle nose vice grip to pinch off the 2 lines where they "tee". First pinching off the line to trunk latch made no change in door latch, but pinched off line to door
latch and trunk latch started working! So now my leak is between tee and door latch. I think I'll start inside the door.
