My #5 hose split at the top where it joins the head. As the nearest replacement was 3000 miles away I cut the hoses and fit a TF Y-connector that I had on the shelf (for a future PRT conversion) then went to my local auto-parts store and bought a hose with a suitable elbow for a few bucks. A cheap, quick and easy fix.
From what I have seen online that hose split is very common.
The old hose is at the top with white silicone tape covering the split. The hose at the bottom provides the donor bend.
The TF Y is in the middle. The lower section of the original hose was reused as it was in good shape.
