Look in the Yellow Pages (do you have those in Canada?) and find someone locally who makes hydraulic hoses. We have "Tubes and Hoses" all over the place down here, and you must have someone similar over there. Contractors running loaders, tractors, backhoes, trash compactors - They need hoses repaired/replaced all the time.

Take in your old, leaky one and have them make one just like it (that doesn't leak). Should be easy for them. $10 US per foot and about $12 US per end, installed.

Ditto what was said above. Get someone to make them for you, don't bother trying to do it yourself...they are bound to leak. Its relatively cheap...there's even a few places up here in Yellowknife that do them so I'm positive you'll find someone down there. One place that comes to mind that is national is Kinecor... http://www.kinecor.com/
The hose shop can suggest better solutions as well as duplicate your leaker. When you have them made up stainless braided pressure hoses usually aren't so expensive as readymade ones, for example, and they can help you chose the most troublefree solution in type of fitting and what it's made of so you'll be very unlikely to have the problem again.
