coolant hose wanting to come off

[93blueblazer]

i have a 99 cavalier ls with a 2.2 auto, i noticed the other day that the rad hose that comes from the drivers side of the rad seemed to be coming off of the tube that goes along the front of the motor, i thought that maybe the clamp was weak so i changed it, i noticed today that it is doing the same thing. why does it want to come off? too much pressure...possible head gasket failure?....damn these 2.2s, any help would be appreciated.

i was wondering the same thing, i dont think that it is a head gasket problem because the car is not overheating, the temp gauge is at the right temp all the time, ill change the hose and see what happens, thanks
