Had hose blow out top. Put a clamp on and it blowed bottom. Put a clamp bottom leaks gone but after about a minute or so of run time I see the hose swelling. Any idea what I’m about to get into?

Not sure what you are talking about by putting a clamp on it. And then it swelling.
Do you have a picture of the hose?
Hydraulic hoses dont use "clamps". They are crimped. And they usually dont "swell". They blow out and you go to a place that makes hoses and get a new one made

Hard to tell, but it looks like someone slipped airline hose over the hydraulic hoses for extra wear and uv protection.
You have a hose failed....and that outer protective hose is keeping you from seeing it. Makes sense why it is ballooning too.
Take the hose off, go somewhere that makes hoses, and have a new one made

Make sure you get hydraulic hose with a higher pressure rating than what pressure hour pump puts out. If your pump puts out 3,000 psi, get hose that is rated for 3,500 or 4,000 psi. If unsure about output you can hook up a hydraulic pressure test gauge either to test or to pipe in permanently to keep an eye on the pressure output.
