Default F Hose Problems

My f-hose seems to be leaking out some oil and will be replaced with a new Samco hose next week. Is this robbing a lot of power and is this an "immediate fix" item, or am I safe till next week?

Default You're safe til next week.

Personally, I would run stock boost til it's fixed. Car doesn't run as good with a bad f-hose. My car would flat spot badly when mine was torn. Basically, you have a boost leak and the car doesn't like that.
