Coolant air bleed hose - What's proper routing? 700

I need to know the correct routing for my radiator-to-coolant tank hose. Is it supposed to be routed along the fender, or under the airbox-turbo intake hose?

It's been changed from factory, and I noticed today that it appears to have been squeezed shut when the hood was closed. It did run out of the nipple on the radiator, above the turbo-intercooler hose, to the fender, then to the coolant bottle. I moved it to under the turbo-intercooler hose, and it kinked and blocked it. Luckily I noticed it and let my car cool off, then re-positioned it slightly.

Anyone know? Also, if someone knows the ID of the hose, I would like to know, so I can replace it tomorrow. It developed a tiny crack, and I don't want it spreading.

    It goes along the fender, tucked up by the edge, turning at the tank to enter the reservoir nipple. Use zip ties if needed to hold it, although it should just stay there on its own.

      How does it route around the intercooler hose? The nipple on the radiator comes out and points straight at the intercooler hose. If it is to go to the fender, it has to go over or under.
      If it goes over, it gets crushed by the hood when it's closed. If it goes under, it's a very tight turn, which cracked my old hose.
