It's leaking around the eye...anyone have success repairing or do i just get a new hose and bypass it?

The hose is not leaking but showing some age cracks upon close inspection.

If the leak is actually on the glass/brass interface or a miniscule crack in the glass the answer is no.  These site glasses are still available at most refrigeration wholesalers, so a replacement should be no big deal.

They're for sale all over eBay. Original or replacement. Good luck!
