Not sure this will help but in my c5 the upper radiator hose was collapsed in the morning and I was like WTF...

Buddy tells me to change the coolant overflow tank reservior cap and it'll never happen again.

Happened on two different c5's and swapping the overflow tank reservior cap fixed it.

HTH

You probably just need a new hose.
