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!
