Coolant Leak

Just replaced my radiator yesterday and went pretty smoothly. It hovered around 190F, burped the system for around 10 mins, heat on, no defrost. Drove it this morning highway for a bit and let it idle for a bit. Then I go drive it later today and I see significant coolant leaking out. I check all hoses that I messed with to change radiator all in tact and not wet. I found these areas wet and I’m thinking the culprit is the hose circled in red if anyone has anymore knowledge a leak like this.
I had a small leak before, I was told by my Toyota guy that it was the radiator/reservoir hose and I believed em since I’m at 240K and my old one looked like it was at 300.


Thanks,
Mike.

For what it’s worth I did the timing belt water pump and all those bells and whistles back in august 2021 and haven’t put tons of miles on it since I’ve been in school.

Use stainless steel worm screw hose clamps. I dont trust the spring clamps. They always seem to leak after monkeying with them.
