Crap! I'm just seeing this now Twitch, I hope with a good cleaning of the hose and tube and maybe another new clamp this turns into a good permanent fix for you. On the bright side, now you can grab a few hours of shut eye to finish out the tow trip in daylight.

Hey glad to hear your back on the road.
I know you have it fixed.
But what is the root cause?
Was there oil in the cooler?
Check the outlet line from the the turbo to intercooler. Rub the bottom of it. Is it oily? Could be sucking in oil and making the connection slippery.
Could just be a worn hose.
