Hi there chums I have developed a very small "crack" about 5 mm long in my power steering input hose that leaks when I turn :( Its on my buggy and I was thinking maybe I could put on a good dob of rubber cement and a descent patch made from old tube or someting then a hose clamp or two.....whatcha reckon?

i reckon just get a new one there not that expensive
for hastle of unreliability as well if you patch it who knows when it will just bust open

A little leak is likely to tear into a big leak when you least want it to.
Get it replaced proberly.
In a pinch there is a tape called "Extreem tape" that is a self amalgamating tape that is strong as that could work but I would only do that in an emergency when you couldnt get to a hose place.
