If these hoses are leaking then they are likely split and just need to be replaced.

Unfortunately there is not much else that would cause a hose to leak outside of a loose hose clamp.

The best way to find this is to pressure test the system. Here is a guide that will help with this:

Please see the info below and let us know what else you need to complete this.
