Actually:
Im considering trying the new ones by RainX...(wiper blades)

Try useing some minimal air pressure to blow the lines clear...
and check the connections of the lines at the pump for corrosion......

Check the hoses for cracks or holes. Also it could be a bad o ring in the pump. As for the blades, I bought some Michelin's that were fairly cheap and work good.

Yes it could be...besides the hose at your local auto parts is more than likely pretty cheap...
