    is this coolant you see on the front of the engine or on the side of the engine.....?

    could it be a welsh plug......?



    it could also be.....overtightening the hose clamps can sometimes cut the hose.....
    just double check that its dry under and around the hose clamps.....
    simply tightening them wont always fix all leaks......

    when you go out in the morning......squeeze one of the radiator hoses and hold it.....
    this will put a bit of pressure in the system while the car is cold......it may show
    your leak...which appears to only leak when the car is cold....?
    did you pressure test it while it was cold....?
