LCI Leveler Hose Hydraulic Leak

Was up under the m/h to run wiring for a secondary backup camera last weekend and noticed a thin, greasy film covering a couple of the orange hydraulic leveler hoses, and what looks like the start of a bubble on the outer "skin" of one of them.

It was probably leaking during the warranty (now expired) but I hadn't yet been under the coach much at that point.

Just wondering...Is 12-19 months of service all I can expect out of the original LCI leveler hoses? And, if you've replaced yours did you replace it with the same factory hose?

If you can get to both ends of the hose, take it off yourself and take it to a hydraulics shop to get a new one made up. Guaranteed it will be a better hose. And probably for less $$$.
Most hydraulic hoses have seep evidence (oily dust) at the connectors, but don't really leak. But one with a wet leak or bubble need to be replaced.
My cheap orange OEM hoses on my system have lasted me 8 years, others are not so lucky.
