A hose that leaks, cracks or collapses can mean the hose is worn. With the engine cool, look it over for cracks, soft spots and wet residue. Before you replace the hose, rule out a bad thermostat or radiator cap, since a new hose will not change those. The vehicle takes one lower hose, and this listing is a single hose.
