Are you sure that the metal line is leaking and it's not just a bad O-ring at the junction, with the water running down the line and appearing that the line is leaking? These pipes generally don't rust out.
Reason I'm asking is that I had a similar leak on a newly rebuilt Volvo B20 engine in my Volvo 1800E. The brand new Elwis gasket set had a defective O-ring for the junction between a metal tube and the water pump. I was able to replace the O-ring with what I would call "lapriscopic surgery" rather than pulling the shroud, fan, radiator, coolant, etc.
