Coolant Loss

My 2002 Linear got a Low Coolant message today when my daughter was driving it home from work. When she reached home the temp gauge was almost to the red zone. When I opened the hood to have a look, noticed that there was coolant splashed onto the engine area. Also noticed the upper engine coolant hose was disconnected from the radiator. The coolant expansion tank was totally empty. I reconnected the hose and refilled the expansion tank. After a couple of hours, I took the car for a drive and while cruising on the highway, noticed that the fill coolant message come on again. Car stayed normal operating temperature until I got home. Checked the expansion tank and it was empty again - upper coolant hose was connected.
Any ideas? I could not check to see the lower coolant hose to see if that was leaking. What other than the lower coolant hose, what else could cause the tank to be emptied? Car has 193,000 KMS.
Thanks,
Simon
