If combustion gas pressure was leaking into the cooling system it could
easily have ruptured the hose.
Those were my exact thoughts when Wilton posted the 2y/o hose rupture. I
hope it's not using oil and that a new, updated gasket (possibly a new head
too) will fix it without having to tear into the bottom end. If the car's
good enough, it may be worth a total overhaul.
