I ended up going with the Dorman "fix".

It will look like that have about 16" or so of tubing, a barb and some useless plastic "tool".
Anyhow I cut mine where the straight section was. Heres what I cut off:
I figured the length I needed for the new piece. Cut it with a SHARP utility knife. I soaked about 2" or so in boiling water for 5 minutes while it still boiled. THe union/barb slid in easily.
The part on the car was the real treat! (saracsm here)...
I dipped it in hot water, 4 pans worth to be exact. I got over the first barb and hung up on the second. Just couldnt get it hot enough. So we broke out the heat gun. We did it on LOW and about 6" away from the line, going all over the outside where I will be sliding on. I keep trying while my Uncle heated- as soon as it went on the heat was GONE. YOU MUST BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL OR BOOM!
So far so good, no leaks.
The original was leaking where it was pressed onto the barb of the elbow. Turns out where the elbow ends and its just the tube there is a bunch of small cracks and they were seeping...
