A hose that is cracked, soft, swollen or seeping coolant at its ends can mean it is due for replacement, and coolant loss or overheating can show up with it. Before you replace this hose, rule out a loose clamp, a weak radiator cap or a coolant leak elsewhere in the system, since any of them could be behind the overheating or coolant loss. Inspect only with the engine off and cool.
