More than the hose contents could dribble out.  In any case, if the hose 
has to be replaced, the fluid will be full of rubber particles.  Get 
enough 11S for a flush.  Use BrakeKleen away from the car to clean the 
filter in the reservoir.  Also clean the banjo bolt screens in the banjo 
bolts at each end of the hose.  Request your rebuilder to clean the 
center hose orifice before reassembling it into the hose.
