Coolant leak due to hose is broken

I have a after-market CD changer installed behind the passenger seat. A screw which mounts the CD changer was screwed in one of the coolant hose. Porsche Dealer charges $1,700 to fix that coz it needs lots of labor. They said there are lots of coolant hoses underneath the car and they need to remove the fuel tank in order to get into the leaking spot of the coolant host. Is that true? Is there a cheaper solution? I just bought the car for about 1 month, I think the CD changer has been installed for awhile. Thanks.

There is a long cooling distribution 'tube' that runs nearly the length of the car (see below). If that tube needs to be replaced then there is a lot of work to do. It could be that the gas tank sits on top of the connection/routing on the right side. I think you are looking at 4-5 hours labor plus the new tube, all new hose clamps, new coolant and bleeding/testing of the system.

I guess you could always get a quote from an independent shop...
