A week? I would expect 30 minutes more like, hot oil dilutes grease.Me neither, but it's supposed to be reasonably heat resistant, so hopefully will last a week or so, but I'll report back
Must admit it's a totally new concept to me. With a projected success ratio in the very low minuses.

I think it may surprise you
It's marine grease supposedly stable against heat, vibration and salt water, and none has dripped off in my 20 mile trip this morning
(although exactly how the oil will affect it wasn't in the literature..)
The oil is hot and under a pressure it will finds it's way through. You could try Marmite but that may not be to every bodies taste.

It's a love it or hate it solution

Wait it actually works!?
Only way you will slow it down or maybe seal it is to wash pipe clean with solvent and smear with a thick coat of Hylomar. Wait until the solvent in the Hylomar disperses and it loses it's tack. Then wrap tightly with self amalgamating tape. That may slow it or even seal it. The grease is possibly just diverting it so it drips somewhere where it does not hit the floor.

Ordinary domestic silicon bath sealant and amalgamating tape works in an emergency. I'm loath to recomend it though.

I've put a bandage round it to hold it for a bit. I need to get to actually replacing it, or at the very least replacing the hose though.
Certainly fulfilling my IOAM requirements of daily oil checking now though
UPDATE
So having read through a number of threads dictating the almost guaranteed destruction of the cooler thread, I am going for my final quick fix:
I have a bigger piece of hose, and plan to cut the original hose and then run the new hose over it, and over the metal join, and then jubilee clip it on. Thoughts?

Trial and error or take it out as a complete unit and get the dremil or air grinder out .
Then you have a chance

Yeah if you think they won't undo and they won't you were right. If you think they will undo and they won't you were wrong. If you think they will undo and they do. Your were lucky. Lottery.
