Hydraulic hoses usually fail from abrasion, heat, or pressure spikes, often at crimped fittings. The first sign is a small pinhole leak, which quickly becomes a high-pressure stream. To prevent this, inspect hoses regularly for cracks or bulges, and replace them at the first sign of wear. If a hose bursts, immediately shut off the system and relieve pressure before swapping it out.
