A coolant hose that leaks, swells, cracks or feels soft can show up as coolant loss, drips under the car or a rising temperature gauge. Look at it only when the engine is cool. A weak radiator, a tired water pump, a sticking thermostat or a loose clamp can be behind those signs too, so find the cause before you buy a hose.
