How bad is it leaking?
Since I rarely see those hoses leaking more than just a little sweating through the crimp sleeve, I don't know if it is enough to empty the reservoir in short order or not.
If they do develop a leak it is usually a pin hole right through the fabric of the hose and since the pressure inside can reach around 1500 Psi, it can get ugly.
So with that pressure, it is tough to rig a temporary solution.
Trying to find a hose repair shop might be tough in such a short time and also remove the hose from the car to get it there and installed again for your trip tomorrow.
If it's not leaking a lot, you might be able to keep adding fluid if you can't leave the car.
