Does anyone know where I can get another hose for this sending unit? Apparently the kit is NLA from VDO.

As has been mentioned before, this is a grease gun extension hose, and should be available locally anywhere grease guns are sold. If it's leaking where it threads into the case, there needs to be some fiber washer, O-ring, teflon tape, goop, or some other method of sealing that connection. The OEM temp switch came with a fiber washer, but it also had a reasonably large sealing surface, which the hose lacks. It's also very hard to get that fitting tight enough without hacking up a wrench (I bent an 11mm wrench) or removing the tin.
