What is you mileage? Probably just time to replace. The upper hose gets more abuse than the lower hose because hot fluid is coming right out of the engine.

Replace that hose with oem as soon as possible. I just replaced mine at 181k for the first time and it also was swollen up. This is routine maintenace so don't worry.
