330 bucks to tow it home again.

Is this on a V8? and the split on the passenger side halfway between the engine and the firewall?
If so, then yes seems to relatively common, BUT...
Not to have to replace it AGAIN in 10K, I'd expect another 100K before needing doing again.
some things to check...
*Is the new hose split or rubbed though?
*Are there any signs of maybe excess pressure (just throwing something out there) as in other leaks anywhere?
*Is there flow through the heater pipes, as in maybe a blockage in the heater core?

P.S yes, I see "hemi" now...
