At least my 300D was in the driveway idling!

My replacement is a Conti, Made in Germany, but either my current hoses are really stiff and hard or this one just seems really soft. Has anyone used these before and are you satisfied with them?
My car was idling in the driveway when I noticed oil dribbling out from under the drivers side right in fron of the wheel!

Oh, crap!

Well, it could have been worse, I could have been going down the freeway! Thing is, my hose didn't look bad but it just started leaking.
I guess looks aren't everything!
