Well I finally got to it. Put some sealant inside the ends of the hoses and put new hose clamps on. We haven't had a leak all week long. To change the actual hose you needed to remove the fuel pump and a lot of the rocker arms and injector linkage. There didn't seem to be any cracking, they were just loose. The clamps were the plastic clip type.
