If you use water or garden hoses, then identifying a leaky hose is not difficult. All you have to do is seal the output end of the hose with a sprayer or cap and turn on the water. You will usually find the leaks as you will see water spraying out somewhere in the middle of the hose. Repairing a leaky hose is not too difficult. You can duct tape or electrical tape to seal the leaking parts of the hose. Please not that this a temporary solution and you should probably purchase a new hose if your does spring leaks.
