Busted lower radiator hose.

I have an 05' PT and yesterday while driving i noticed some coolant leaking, so when i went to check it out i found the fan guard had rubbed a hole in the radiator hose, after 31 dollars and 1-2 hours of work i have it fixed and running like new (it almost is new). Has anyone else had this problem?. And if anyones radiator hose is on the fanguard you might want to put an abrasion sleeve or if it has one invest in some form of wrap or protector.
