You'll need to replace the split hose and then bleed the system following the Bongo procedure
. The other symptoms are normal, the bottom hose only gets warm after the thermostat opens.

If you do a search on the forum, you should find it. It's a bit complicated to write it down, but if you can't find it, I'll do my best to write it for you.
