Coolant Leaking...again!

I'm new to these forums so forgive my lack of forum intelligence.

I have a 2006 Grand Prix. I replaced the water pump about 3K miles ago, it started to leak again so I replaced the gasket with an aluminum one. No more issues there. There is a radiator hose that runs from the top of the radiator on the passenger side to the part the water pump is mounted to. It looks like it is leaking there. The 90 degree bypass elbows were replaced last summer and look fine, no liquid at all around them. Any ideas?
 


don't want to insult you, but did you put new hose clamps on? the real ones you tighten with a screwdriver.
 
No insult taken. Yes new hose clamps were done when I changed the thermostat. I did that at the same time I did the new water pump gasket.

Where the hoses on the heater core connect to the alternator bracket?

It's more toward the front of the car rather than the firewall side where the alternator is. It's a 3.8L non turbo, no cool stuff. :) It seems like the leak is right under the coil packs and I can't really see under it and don't want to take it apart in case I have to drive it to a mechanic. I'm a girl that knows how to work on my own cars but I don't know everything. LOL...
