pipe to rocker cover goes soft due to oil and heat, 'tis natural, plus its an outward pressure exerted on that pipe, so it wouldnt be collapsing - could be a blocked vac hose maybe... or a dodgy fuel filter? ...maybe

Check the pipe coming out the servo make sure the seal is good and also the one way valve in the same pipe. With the car stationary and running pump the brake quickly several times in sucession if the car cuts out it will be the servo side giving the problem Evil or Very Mad
