All,

I tried to fix the leak, temporarily, to no avail. Limped into Southport, NC. Had about a liter of diesel under the engine in oil absorbent cloth.

The NAPA store here is actually Napa automotive and Marine. Anyway, had replacement hoses made in about two minutes, literally. The store used a hydraulic press to crimp the fittings. Versus oem, the hose and connectors are larger in diameter, but I got it re-installed, with lots of grunting. Wish I had made the new hose a few inches longer.
