Question The return hose is leaking

Its the hose that attaches to the PVC than then attaches to the bulkhead at the overflow box. There is a little water overflowing fromm the top of each hose (2 hoses). Should I use pvc cement for a permenant fix? or what should I do?

thanks all

the hose I am talking about is 1" wide for the return that goes to the sump. But I think they do sell hose clamps that size, that will probably work, thanks.
Any other ideas?
