The rubber sealing rings are not a possiblilty for gas leaks. Replace the short hoses even though they have already been replaced earlier. You should use 5/16" hose and worm gear hose clamps as the OE VW clamps will not fit over the 5/16" hose OD. Hose problems are common after the hoses have been disturbed. The hose lining gets hard with time and engine temps, and cracks when it is flexed. At least the cure is straightforward. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
