Default 2001 C5 Brake Booster vacuum hose is hot!

I bought a 2001 C5 in August of this year. The very first time I took it for a test drive, there was a smell of hot rubber. Thought it might have been a tire rubbing, but the clearance on all 4 tires was OK. Started troubleshooting recently to see if I could find the source of the smell. The only thing I could find was the brake booster vacuum hose seems to be hotter than any hose I have ever felt before. Haven't experienced any braking issues so far. I'm thinking this might be the source of the smell. Has anyone experienced this issue or does anyone have any suggestions of what could be causing the hose to be excessively hot? RBlack
