Question Boost leak

Alright, so here's my story. I haven't done a boost leak check on my 2g gst but I know for a fact that I am getting a boost leak from where my uicp hose connects to my smic. I have a custom mbc and wherever I set it, it never goes past 10psi. I'm still running on a stock turbo. I have a hard uicp from buschur racing with the 1g flange for the 1g bov. Sometimes when I'm driving, I hear a high pitched whistle comming from the engine. I finally opened up the hood and found where it had come from which was what I just explained up there at the point where the hose from the uicp connects to the smic. I clean my engine bay atleast once a week and I've noticed that where the hose connects the the uicp, there's some type of black grease that probably sputtered out from the leak.

I'm thinking that maybe if I replaced the current hose to a longer hose that connects the smic and the uicp together, it might solve the problem. That's the only possible solution I can come up with for this problem.

What do you guys think? Give this a try or is there something else that I am not seeing here? Sorry for the long story.
