coolant leak

Hey I just installed my Koyo rad and there seems to be a small leak somewhere. I first thought that it was my lower rad hose, but the coolant is coming from above the hose, going along the hose and leaking from the bottom of the rad.

I've tried to find the leak, but cant find it. Where do u guys think its from?
I'm so mad.

Thanks

i got all new hoses
I think it maybe the water pump housing. Its coming from above the lower rad hose.
Maybe its the thermostat gasket.

Heh, im so tired of working on that car, yet so close to make it run.

thanks guys
