Had to ask,, "Curiosity... " 
heater hose leak
Depending on where the hose is punctured, I'd cut it away and if there's enough meat left, put it back onto the w/p.
That specific hose goes to the heater core.

Just replaced mine because the hoses were getting soft. It's not a pleasant experience in replacing it, but not impossible.

I'll keep it in mind for next time. I ended up just replacing it today.
It was not easy but not so bad, I had to use the Dremel at a angle and just cut as best as possible. Very tight fit and awkward to fit a Dremel in there Had to be very careful not to cut anything else. (Had to remove the alternator, battery.) & (Unbolted the power steering reservoir and moved it out the way. Kept it together.) Bought like 3ft of heater hose from AutoZone ($12 or so) and cut it to fit. Tho I do wonder why gm put so many twist and turns on the original hose. Mines has a slight curve into the water pump.
Ran a few cycles and everything seems fine, no leaks. Heat works.
