Thanks. I did get new clamps from Advance auto parts as recommended, but I only removed the one on the side that was leaking. The hose is so short, I was not able to get another clamp on the end of the hose, so I had to remove that one.

It seems to have stopped... I will know more next time I drive it, but I am having rear brakes issues now, so not sure when I can drive it again.

The hose did seem to move up in the middle with the new clamp on... hopefully it wont burst.
