My Monaco Sig had a leak that happened right as I was pulling in to get an oil change.

I had smelled coolant then saw a small leak spraying out of a heater hose. Once we pulled the hose away I could see considerable wear from the hydraulic hose rubbing it. This was near the Driver's side rear wheel and could be seen from inside the wheel well.

If you have the 15 liter engine I would check these hoses ASAP.

I was very lucky, just starting our 1800 mile journey to race in Las Vegas and it would not have gone well if this happened on the road.

60 series Detroit engine? That's what I have.

Sorry, Cummins 15 liter is what I have. Not sure the routing is the same on DD15.

Without a pic it's difficult to picture what you have.

That being said can't the heater hose be spliced with a steel hose splice like this where it's compromised and re-route it somewhat?

and if it cannot be re-routed? ...perhaps cover the hydraulic hose or the heater hose with a larger piece of hose with some tie wraps to protect it and insulate it?

That is what they ended up doing. 2 feet of hose and adapters so it could be repositioned out of the way.
