When O/E pipes are old, they sometimes balloon before they fail. This is because one or more of the layers of the pipe has/have failled.
Typically your cooling system will work at 10 psi so to see it is under that level of pressure is normal.
Sometimes when you squash one of these pipes when it is dry it will "crunch2 This is because the woven re-enforcing is breaking up through age.
