Cracks, a swollen or soft section, or coolant residue at a connection can mean a coolant hose is wearing out. With the engine off and cool, look along the hose and at its clamps for cracks, bulges or wet residue to find the cause first; a shop can pressure-test the cooling system. If the hose is the cause, this one replaces it.
