Coolent Clamps, ABS info & Magnetic Sump Plug

Hi All,
About 2 weeks ago I changed the coolant. I did not replace any hoses as they all looked good. Don't have the temperature extremes here in NZ. But I have noticed a small leak on the right hand radiator hose, I have tightened the clamps more but worried about the plastic pipe on the radiator. It still weeps a little - Thinking about cutting some thin sheet copper a bit wider that the clamp and putting under the clamp to spread the force a little?
Today I have replaced the brake fluid and was wondering about the ABS unit. I see there it has primary and secondary pipes from the master cylinder and 4 pipes to each wheel calliper. I know the ABS in a potential skid scenario will modulate the brake pressure to the offending wheel. The question is where does the dumped pressure go to as there is no return line to the reservoir?
I also changed the oil (Mobil 1) after 9000kms and my small magnetic sump plug (Custom made) had a very very small amount of metal fuzz. This time I have added six rare earth magnets on a 6/32 screw (each magnets 10mm Diameter x 3mm thick and hole inside for 6/32 screw)
