I don't know what your leak is but I came across these really excellent hose
clamps recently that might help:

http://rswww.com/cgi-bin/bv/browse/Module.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1019736250.10

Long link, and I'm not sure if it'll work cos the RS web site works in a
funny way- if it doesn't, go to "rswww.com" and search for "unex".
They are a bit pricey but are stainless and brass so will last forever and
the way they work is unique- they thread through themselves so the inner
surface is a perfect circle and clamps the hose evenly, and they are kind of
double geared- you have to be carefull not to overtighten them as they can
go really tight with low torque on the tightening screw- light hand tight is
usually enough. Hope they help!
