I took the engine cover off last evening. That's actually quite easy to do. Just lift the front edge firmly and it will disconnect from these 2 x sockets. Then put your hand through the gap between the windscreen air/intake base and the stabiliser bar and you can reach the rear of the engine cover. Just pull up the rear and that's off!

Anyway, couldn't see any loose hoses. Didn't really expect to in my case as it didn't sound anywhere near as bad as the OP's.

To put back the cover just line it up with the oil filler cap and then push down at rear, and then front.

cheers
