Didn't you put any heat shield on or around it?

Bend the hardline on the heater hose out of the way so it will not rub against the heatshield.

You're supossed to take actions to prevent it from happening in the first place.... wrap it up good and pull it off the DP....the fact that you had anything resting on the DP surprises me completely.
