ok, coolant problems

now i replaced my radiator and my hoses and water pump. and its still leaking antifreeze. it almost looks like its coming from the lower radiator hose but theres a trail of it all the way down that pipe that its connected to, like its coming from the engine. and it only leaks sometimes. what can possibly be wrong, and is it something to be worried about?

it could be a loose hose, check the lower radiator hose where it connects to the engine under the thermostat. Also, it is always a good idea when doing radiator work, is to replace the stock hose spring-type clamps with screw-type clamps. They dont have nearly as many problems

What about the water pump housing-to-front cover gasket up top? Did you replace that when you changed the pump?
