I had that same hose fail in a strange way...
There's some kind of fabric reinforcement embedded in the hose. The rubber was was getting old & hard, & it cracked from the inside to the fabric. Then the fluid traveled 'through' the reinforcing cords & oozed out the end. Tightening the hose clamps just made it worse. After I replaced it I cut it up out of curiosity because the way it leaked just bugged me till I figured it out.
