Either the leak in the tubing, as Sly Marbo suggested, or a leak somewhere else.

What kind of tubing are you using? Regular airline will degrade and leak. Silicone will also degrade and leak, but it takes much longer for it to do so. The best tubing is ozone resistant tubing. It's made not supposed to degrade at all.

Elsewhere -- did you seal the holes you made with bathtub caulk or aquarium sealant?
