You can probably just tie a piece of surgical tubing to some other part of the frame, then around the tip of the cylinder.

However, it's totally possible to have a pneumatic system where there are NO leaks throughout the whole season, it just takes some time. Make sure the teflon tape is applied well and in the right direction, and test ALL parts with 120 psi, and make sure that they don't drop more than 20 psi over a few hours. Use soapy water to check for leaks. Also, remember to make a tubing cuts perfectly perpendicular.
