Washer overfilling

I have a Maytag Performa washer that is over filling. the hose to the cup on the outside of the tub appeared to be off. When
replaced it still over filled. I then replaced the hose. Same problem. I replace the water level switch. Same problem. I can
blow through the tube to the switch and get the machine to function (about as hard as you would have to blow to make a bubble in a
milk shake). I can blow from the switch to the tub and get bubbles in the tub. I can see water rising up the tube as the tub
fills. This suggests that the cup, inlet line for the pressure hose are clear. The machine stops filling when I unplug the
machine (indicative of a bad fill valve). There is no water leaking from the tub, the cup outside the tube that the tube attaches
to or anywhere else I can see.

I am really stumped.
 
I'm guessing a leak in the tube. If water is rising in the tube to the same level as in the tub, then air is leaking out so the fill sensor isn't being pressurized.
