Looks like Im getting it towed to the local Honda dealership and having them install a new hose and will tell them to just place some heatwrap around it. I'm doing this b/c it's still covered under the insurance claim that has been taken out and was most likely caused due to the impact with the guard rail. Plus my hands won't fit in btwn the compressor housing and manifold, so it's not as easily done by me as it would be those with smaller hands or tubular manifolds. Anywho, no $ out of my pocket

 

I had a similar problem. That's how I blew my stock motor (scored cylinder wall on #4). I replaced the coolant hoses multiple times and went from rubber to SS braided. I even heat wrapped both types. After I had the motor rebuilt, I bought some fittings that start the coolant hoses a fair distance away (3-4") from the turbine housing. The parts near the turbine housing are solid metal, so there's no rubber, plastic, or anything else to melt through.

Check out my other thread, I fixed the problem and no longer have a leak. Everything runs perfectly now I can't wait til Tuesday when I get my last issue (coupler to manifold contact) resolved, get one final tune and put my car on ebay motors and autotrader if the auction doesn't work out.
