You keep saying your new hoses are on their way but you only have one leaking around the rear of the tank. Are you going to replace all the hoses in the system? Or just the one hose?

Default Replacing old hoses only

Frank,
As Gus said, the latch hoses looked newer so someone has replaced these hoses already (bet PO had the infamous green shower). I'll finish the job and replace both old hoses going to the rams. It's just another job to add to my summer work list.

Default Blown Again! Temporary was really temporary!

Well Gents,

My temporary fix didn't last long and the hose blew again. Oil seeped down and shorted the battery connector earth/ground connector too. S$%t!
Still at least the car rear quarter window is shut and Ginger the Cat slept on the bonnet not the inside foot well.
Really need those new hoses now
