Default antifreeze leak..

I have a 98 GSR in my 92 CX, the lower radiator hose is somehow leaking. I recently put two clamps on it but it is still leaking... Any suggestions?

I'm assuming your still using the Integra hoses and Civic radiator. The B-series stuff is a little larger diameter than the old D-series stuff so it doesn't fit snug. I could usually get away with just clamping down a worm clamp real tight and it would hold (I'd usually check/tighten them about once a month or at least at every oil change). I know a few friends who've had some luck wraping electical tape around the spout of the radiators to thicken it a little as well. I never tried it but I'm assuming it worked for them.
