Large hose has a hiss

I pulled the hoses off the reservior. The small one looked good but I trimmed it 1/4" anyhow. The large one had a split like I have read about. I cut 1/2" off it. Reinstalled and no change, still groaning and fluid had turned to foam. However when I shut the engine off and went to see if there was any leak, I could hear a hissing sound from the large hose just under the top engine mount. It was either a hiss or a sucking sound, faint but high pitched. I am going to guess the hose is split underneath the foam surround. I will go get a new hose, not molded. The curves look gentle enough that I could use a generic.
