A lower hose that is cracked, soft, swollen or damp with coolant can leave drips under the front of the vehicle or go along with a climbing temperature gauge. Look it over only when the engine is cool. These signs alone do not prove the hose is the problem, because a stuck thermostat can overheat an engine as well.
