Changed my oil this weekend and like normal looked around the car while I'm under it, and my HPE hose is leaking again. It was replaced once before I got the car at around 30k miles. I replaced it about a year and a half ago when it blew with i think 42,000 miles on the car. I replaced a total of 6 hoses at that time, basically anything that wasn't 100% dry. Also replaced all 4 air cell/pulsation dampners, flushed the system and new filter. No issues with ABC since other than one corner drops when parked if temps are below 30*. Just need to rebuild the valve block but I don't believe that has anything to do with the HPE hose. My car is not lowered (yet), I don't rally it on bad roads, etc. Now at 55,000 miles my HPE hose looks like failure is imminent again. No way I can go racing this summer with an oil leak so I'll have to replace it again soon.

Anyone else besides me can't get 2 years and 15,000 miles out of a HPE hose?

PLEASE don't reply telling me to swap out the ABC for springs, that's not what I'm asking.
