All Fixed
well, I fixed my blown oil cooler water line this morning. Took all of 20 minutes!
Got the car on some ramps, got under it, got the 2 clamps loose, used a razor to cut the hose in half, peeled it off. Used a new peice of hose, used a wire style hose bend maker, and 2 new clamps.
chop chop done, 2 gallons of prestone, and no leaks!
Thanks to all that gave suggestions!

Basically, it is a stiff spring, with a heavier steel strip on its back, You slip it on the hose, and bent the heavy steel strip, and the spring makes the bend, and hold it for you.
Worked perfectly, it was kinking prior to this.
