Just an update.
I got the car back today from the dealership. I'll post more details tomorrow or so with pictures of the damage. It isn't as bad as I thought. The hole in the manifold is actually right where the heating element connecter attaches to. Nothing like plasti-aid can't fix. I might repair it and just keep it or sell it cheap. I will see once I fix it up.
Dealer installed a new 3 stage manifold for me following a new vent hose as well and the connector.
Car is back to normal and feels great.
The heating element definately melted on one side (where the electrical connection is).
