Low coolant like came on. So I waited until the car cooled down and put half and half the light went off. Then I noticed antifreeze leaking under my car. My car never overheated or got to hot. My coolant light would go off and on. My question is, could it be my lower hose went bad since the leak is coming from under my car?

Hello, I'm Danny.

The best thing to do is use a cooling system pressure tester. If you don't have one most local auto parts stores have a tool loaner program and can rent you one.Basically it fits onto the radiator cap outlet and you pressurize the system.This allows you to view where the leak is coming from with the engine not running also not heated to avoid burns while looking for the leak.Here is a tutorial showing what is involved:
