Check the hose when the car is not running, if it is very soft replace it.

Hi gville14,

If the hose collapses when engine is cold, it should be weak and needs replacement.

If you have coolant losses or overheating problems, you might need to check if the radiator cap is bad or if there is excessive pressure buildup, which might mean a bad head gasket.
