leaking hose, simple fix but need ideas!

[Biggben]

when i changed my oil today i noticed i had a slight leak of antifreeze coming from one of the hoses where it goes into the radiator. Its one of the smaller hoses about 1/4" maybe i need something to seal it up from the outside being i dont want to replace the hose. Is there anyt kind of epoxy, tape, or something that would stop that slight leak?

What year, model and engine do you have. If it is the actual hose leaking, nothing you mentioned will help seal it.

92 grand prix 3.1L v6. yeah i dont think it is the hose its just the connection it makes to the radiator. Maybe i should give some of that radiator stop leak a try?

heres an idea depending on how much slcak you have. obviously the end has become worn and stretched over time. you could just trim off maybe 1/2 inch or an inch of tubing and then stick it back on there with a hose clamp or zip tie or whatever else you have.

just an idea again im not 100% sure on the hose ur talking about but sometimes that works

my friends dad was saying if it was at the bottom of the radiator it could be transmission fluid used to cool something? it was reddish pink but seeing how it was right on the radiator i figured it was just pink antifreeze. He said i could prolly just tighten up the conncection a little bit.
