If you're sure it's just one of the air lines leaking then just replace it. Shouldn't be to hard to find replacement hose.

I would put Coilovers on and get rid of the Air Shocks .

+1 on coilovers. They can improve the ride quality of your car.

When I swapped the air shocks out for new Bilstine shocks, I was amazed at the difference. I agree with the others who say to remove the air shocks.. I didn't do coil overs since I have SPC upper and lower control arms that come with spacers..
