[PSUBS-MAILIST] Oil leak

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Moved my motor last night & found silicone oil had come out
through my hose attachment.
I am using a 5 cst silicone so hard to contain. It's a little bit like a penetrating oil.
From the photo you can see I used an undersized tube to give a really tight
fit on the thruster nozzle & used a crimp fitting which I thought would be more
substantial than a hose clamp.
Wondering if I should have gone for a larger tube & wrapped the nozzle with
sealing tape, or covered the nozzle with some sort of sealing compound before
attaching the hose. Or possibly go for a threaded nozzle & use a hydraulic hose.
Another idea I'm thinking of is to put an additional hose clamp on it but put a heat 
Gun on the tube prior to tightening to get the tube soft to mold in to any recesses.
Any thoughts or alternative suggestions?
Alan
