Gdsila, I can't see whay changing the hose should make any difference. It seems to me like there was a coincidence that you fixed it when doing the final refit of the cap after fitting the new hose. On the '96 Tiger that my wife had, she had the origianl hoses cylinders etc. all untouched. This bike had the leak. I did this procedure as described having to remove a bit of corrosion in the process too. I replaced nothing, just did the above and no leaks afterwards.

The fluid level is critical, just a smidge too high and you will end up with a wet diaphragm and a weep.
