IC Hose comes off... put it back on and I'm not so sure

[hayes myers]

I had the hose off and inspected it the other day.  The real problem seems
that i didn't tighten the pita clamp enough. pita x 2 now. or more ....
Took the intercooler out today to try and get a better angle of attack.
The clamp for the bottom of ic is a pita to access.   I was able to hold the
loose clamp from the frontside while tightening from the other.  ALso the
front side gives nice visual for lineup of the hose itself.  So things
looked much better this time around and having the same problem.  I'm taking
a breather on this.  I'm convinced it is the ic hose.  My concern as well is
did that leaking ic hose cause me a problem with the engine?
