[V8] coolant hose leak

I was able to just trim about an inch off the hose and get the leak back
behind (or partially under) the hose clamp.  The hose is stretched a little
tiny bit, so I'm going to check it again in the near future.
 
I also replaced the front breather hose, the little tiny one that disappears
into the V of the engine.  It was pretty much falling apart.  I also
vacuumed all the leaves out of the plenum below the windshield since I had
the cover off to look at the other end of the heater hoses.  Wouldn't have
been impossible to get to them, maybe a little tricky (famous last words),
but at least I could see the hose clamps.
