I've seen a lot of varying opinions on the difficulty of repair.
Can I feasibly replace the top hose only in the parking lot?
Could a redneck fix of gasket material and hose clamps let me limp the 15 miles back home?
Thanks for any advice. I'm sure the dealership is going to get irritated if I leave it on the lot too long.

Im guessing no AAA? Id say its worth the $50-$75 to have it towed home. see if the dealer can help you out finding a cheap local. if you rig it and it fials, you will pump all of your oil out in a matter of seconds.
