I believe it asked you to drain out some coolant, so obviously you didnt read the instructions You'll be fine. just replace what leaked out.

You'll be fine. Very little comes out. You don't need to drain any of the coolant really; it's fine for a little bit to leak out at that hose without affecting the coolant system. Of course, if your car starts to overheat you know you need to bleed the coolant of air pockets but it doesn't happen really from changing out that hose.

egg-zackly!

the hose holds a minimal amount and is so high up in the system that you wont really loose that much to cause an issue. just enjoy the install and forget your worries
