WTF Happen?

OK...just got the intake back on my car last night and went to drive it today. First off let me say I did clean the engine bay out some. Got rid of the cold start assist unit,rid of the cruise control and blocked off vacuum, and rid of the water resaivor for the windsheild squirters. I then relocated the Fuel vapor canister to fire wall, and relocated the raditor overflow tank to the passenger strut tower(which was replaced with the 12a canister due to being smaller. Shown in picture below. Now when I got back home from the test drive I popped the hood and come to noticed that the Raditor intake hose going from the radiator to the engine was sucked in(almost suqeezed together) I then popped the lid off the overflow canister and herd ssshhhhh and watch the raditor hose go back out to normal. What would have caused this? I am thinking a bad radiator cap or something to do with that 12a overflow canister which doesnt make sense. And ideas would be helpful.

Thanx Guyz,
Mike

Cancel post. Found my problem. Heater hose blew a split in it due to oil O rings leaking under oil filter. This is not the water oil cooler but the O rings can still leak. Seeings I am going to replace this with the Racing Beat Block for the turbo Oil feed, the O rings will be new when that is done. Looks like I will need to order a new heater hose too :[ Just when you think you are set something else goes wrong..... Good thing it doesnt look like all the coolant ran out of the system. Thank god I did fill the overflow tank up to so it did take all that coolant along. The temp didnt rise above normal etheir so everything looks safe still.
