I have a 94 Honda Accord automatic w/ 180xxx miles. The last couple of days I heard a hissing sound coming from the passenger side of the car. The temp guage did not show the car was overheating. Until a few days ago some was smoke coming from the hood. After letting the car cool for a couple of hours there was no fluid in the radiator and the reserve tank was low. I filled the radiator and the fluid ran out on the passenger side and the lower hose was soft. I have replaced the transmission lines, water pump, timing belt, top radiator hose and relay switch. How can I replace the hose myself? I got a quote of at least $100 considering the parts cost way less than that.

There is a skirting that comes off to make access much easier. Be sure that it is the hose and not the radiator.
