A high-pressure hose end fitting terminates an end of a high-pressure hose (12) and comprises a coupling having a portion (18) thereof inserted in the hose end, and a sleeve (24), enveloping both the hose end and the coupling inserted portion (18), crimped onto the hose end. A void (30) obtains within the sleeve at the end of the hose, and a capillary hole (32) formed in the sleeve (and in a circumferential wall of the coupling) communicates the void with the external surface of the sleeve. The hole, a weep hole, safely relieves fluid leakage or seepage from the void. <IMAGE>
