dear leaky hose ...
take the hose off and drive over to hydraulic shop
whey will cut the ends off and make you a new one ...
you may have to leave it for a few hours or even days
but it is actually a 15 minute job
(made lots when i was working in a hydraulic shop in edmonton years ago)
you can go to the shop by the rail road tracks ...
they are very sensible
yours
