Chris -
       If the hole is right next to the metal crimp fitting, you have an easy
fix.  Cut the hose at the hole.  Remove the crimp (cut with Dremel or
carefully with a hacksaw).  Remove the old hose chunk, being careful not to
nick it with your utility knife.  Stick the barbed end back into the hose
(tight fit), and put 2 hose clamps on it.  Done.  Looks like hillbilly
heaven, but it works.  I have the same deal on mine, no leaks.
       If you can remove the hose, take it to NAPA and they can put your old
hose fittngs into a new piece of hose.  Pretty cheap, did that myself too.
If the metal fittings are OK, you can get a hose rebuilt at a variety of
places.
