Coolant was leaking and smoking slowly I thought it was the radiator, replaced it, still smoking a little. I found out the smoke is coming from this ac/Freon hose. Do I have to replace the whole hose or is there an easy fix? I have a 2004 mustang Gt

If it's coming from the welded area, its likely cracked and you will need to replace the entire hose.

Discharge, replace line, pull vacuum, recharge. If you pay an AC shop to do this, i would imagine it's in the $500-1000 range.
