I used 24 inches of 5/8 clear flat garden hose. The hose wants to be flat, so it compresses right away.

What

did not leak a drop of oil from the drive, my new seal and
new compensating hose did the trick. The light bar on the
other hand has some water. This time the light bar was
just sealed full of oil. I think I am not getting all the
air out, I will try a piece of clear garden hose next.

another dive tomorrow, then I am off to do a proper deep
test. I am pushing my luck maybe. I am only diving 100
feet and like Vance says, a shoe box can be sealed to 100
feet :-)
