Also noticed some seepage at my front differential. Can't say sure sure where it was coming from but it looked like it was coming from the fill plug. I don't remember of that one had a crush washer or not. I reused the bolts last drain and fill.
I just replaced the whole hose and put factory clamps on. I figured the 10 year old hose should just be replaced anyways. For the diffs, the drain plugs have a little seal inside the lip.
