Either the blow off or melt a little. And that of course is due to either a partially plugged cat or from a fuel soaked converter that has ignited in the past. Other than that, you got me lol.
Unless it wasnt an original silicone hose and someone replaced it with cheap rubber gas line that cracked.

Give me a bit and I'll see if I can post of picture of the hole. I replaced them both with actual high temp lines. $10 for the two of them.
