Take yours into a hydraulic hose supplier and have them re-crimp it, or buy one off a scrap car, it can't be a common failure.

It is actually quite a common failure on the V6's. All 3 of them that I've owned have done it and I know of a few others. When I told Robert at BL Auto's I had a leak on a steel to rubber joint on my XM he immediately knew which pipe I was talking about.

He told me that these pipes were badly crimped from the factory and that having them recrimped by a hydraulic specialist is usually a good cure.
