Leaking from a hose, but not sure which. Help :(

My 8 began leaking the antifreeze about a week ago when I parked. I checked to see if the drain plug was loose, but it wasn't. Then I saw it leaking from a hose to the right of the oil pan, connected to the rear housing. I've searched, nothing seemed to pop up regarding this issue I have

The coolant engine drain plug is in that area. Check and see if the washer for the plug is in good condition and if the plug is tightened.

That is your heater hose return to the block. Check that the clamp is tight. You might need to replace the hose if it is leaking and a new clamp doesn't fix it

I took the plug out and it's all good, so I tightened it again

And a new clamp doesn't fix it? Or IF a new clamp doesn't?

..I would try a new clamp first...if that doesn't work you will likely have to replace the hose
