What can you use to help insure a tight seal on your radiator hose replacement when you just changed the hose and still have a drip?

If it's leaking at the radiator, make sure you haven't accidentally bent the fitting. Sometimes a brass fitting can be accidentally bent and you'll never get it to seal until it's round and cleaned up. If it's leaking at the block or water pump, make sure it's clean and there are no large corrosion pits. If everything looks good at those locations, check for leaks elsewhere. The radiator could be leaking where the hose connects. The water pump could be leaking and it only LOOKS like it's leaking at the hose.

Are you sure that isn't antifreeze and if so that would indicate the radiator is defective. There is a transmission oil cooler in the radiator.

Overheating problems are caused by clogged radiator, non-functioning cooling fan, defective thermostat, defective water pump, defective or incorrect radiator cap, clogged water ports in engine, or collapsing radiator hose.
2004 Dodge Ram Water pump changed twice thermostat changed 3 times new radiator cap It is still overheating Both input and output hoses are the same temperature Any ideas?
Check the grille on the front of the radiator and be sure that it is clean of all mud and debris otherwise the radiator is not able to pull air through to cool the water. You can clean that grille by removing the radiator from the truck and lightly pressure washing it.

Remove the Radiator and have it serviced if they are able to. If not you will need to replace it, would be a good time to replace the Radiator hose's as well. Hope This Helps.
