Default Leaking washer; problem found. How to fix?

Okay my Frigidaire washer (FWS800FHS0) started leaking after a recent
move. It was only coming from the left side, and for sure from under
it. After looking at the diagrams on some parts purchase websites, I
saw that the only thing on that side was the drainage system.

So I took off the front panel and ran a load. The drain pump isn't
leaking (thank goodness) but the water seems to start dripping halfway
down the piece of the drainhose inside of the unit before it exits out
the back. I would build up in the bottom panel, and eventually spill
out. Ick.

Hey its plastic. Plastic rots. This sucker is 6 years old. Drainhose
is a $25 part, not bad. But those clamps holding the hose onto the pump
and to the unit looks pretty substaintial. Anyone ever wrestled with
these? What's the trick?
