It is leaking from the bottom and the car did over heat. I recently got my thermostat changed.

Is it expensive to get it fixed??

Since 1997 some manufacturers have been using rubber hoses that are made with a degenerative dye.
Generally these hoses are black and shiny when new but the dye breaks down with age and wear resulting in the hoses loosing some of their colour and going quite dull.
So if your hoses are going dull and looking a little grey, its time to fork out a couple of hundred bucks and buy some new ones.

The hose can have some cracks in it or it can show some bubble spots, maybe it can be sweating which is that the hose can be constantly wet but not leaking and steam can be coming thru.Or else the hose shuold be pretty flexable if it is very hard or stiff it may be time to change it. hope that helps

It will be all swollen when the engine is warm. When it's cool it will feel soft. Is the vehicle overheating? What problems are you having?

well check if its leaking underneath the car, squeeze it, if it starts to crack then its bad. it should have some elasticity in when u squeeze it.
