Not all.  It is in a higher spot so you might lose a gallon and a half but not all.  Just put a bucket under it.  This hose is done by undoing both clamps and pushing the hose back onto the plastic pipe a few inches so that you can get past the coolant distributor nipple.  Then pull it off.  It can be a pain.  As Haynes loves to say "Installation is reverse of removal!"  Have a great Thanksgiving!
