My low coolant light comes on every other day. I fill with fluid and then drive a few more days and have the low coolant light come on again. I only see a little fluid on the passenger side bottom hose. It has overheated about three times since this started. I want to replace the lower hose and see if this helps, but I don't know how. I could surely use some pointers.

Hello,

The radiator hose can be replaced using simple hand tools.

Keep in mind that the engine needs to be cool before getting started on replacing the hose.

Here is a helpful guide that covers the best practices:
