The puncture is on the little coolant line underneath the throttle body right before the tube that it goes on. I was gona use a barbed fitting I got from home depot but then I found out the the two hoses on either side of the throttle body are two different sizes.

I replaced both hoses with one (5/16" I think) hose with some worm/screw clamps. I picked a size inbetween the two stock hose sizes. It's a little tight on the radiator end, and a little loose on the engine end, but once it's all clamped down you're fine. Also by using 1 new hose, you can get it long enough to route away from the pullies. No leaks or stress on the hose or anything in over a year. It cost like $3 at NAPA.
hope this helps

Agreed. You'll have a cleaner look by rerouting the lines. So where your puncture is, is irrelevant. Just snip that part off, and splice the hoses together with a longer piece that you can reroute. Mine goes out and away, and gets tucked up underneath the top lip of the radiator.
