Heater hose....

Was on my way to a job site today in my "new" '95. About two miles from my
destination I noticed the AC suddenly go warm. Checked the gauges and
noticed the temp climbing. Drove about a 1/2 mile on HOT. (There was NO
place to stop for help......deserted area next to refinery) Quick look under
the hood and saw a heater hose had sprung a leak. Fortunately I was able to
make it home with many stops to refill the radiator. Seems to be running
fine after changing the hose. Any possible additional problems I should be
looking for after running hot?
TIA

The usual cause of leaking heater hoses is oil dripping on them from a
bad O-ring at the cam angle sensor. It's an easy fix, and you'll want to
do it before it ruins your new hoses too. See the miata.net Garage
section for instructions.
