Question Vtec solenoid

Hey everyone. I have a question regarding the Vtec solenoid on the first generation 2.2 cl. The little hose/wire running from the solenoid to a connector seems to be leaking oil when the Vtec is supposed to engage instead of actually engaging (I can't feel the power boost anymore either). Here is a pic of my solenoid and leaking hose (it's the hose connected to the gray connector).

Do I need to replace the solenoid? If not, what do I need to do to resolve my problem and get my Vtec back up and running?? I found a site with the whole assembly for $216 or just the solenoid for $134.

P.S.
I did try using the search feature and reading the noob guide first, but I couldn't find an answer. Also, I'm fairly new to engine work, so take it easy on me please.

This is the 2G CL side, this is better suited for the 1G CL side:
