Make sure it's the hose and not the housing leaking. The only fix I know is to remove the housing and hose, check for corrosion or splits and replace the hose. I recommend using spring clamps as they maintain tension as the hose shrinks and expands from heat and cold

They kind of look like Screw clamps from the pictures I just looked at.
And depending on how they put those clamps on, the turbo and pedestal may need to be removed to access them. Sadly.

You know, I have looked at some of these delete systems and only one used the OEM hose. (can't remember which company was doing it though)
I always had issues with those that didn't. Those clamps in that spot just doesn't make any sense to me.
Now a person "MIGHT" get lucky and get a socket under there to remove the hose, but you would play heck getting them back in.
And, you can't just slip an OEM in there to replace it.
