It could be a couple of things...
1. A broken/leaky O-ring on the flange molded into the end of the hose.
2. A crack in the outlet on the radiator.
3. A leaky hose.
I've seen #1 and #2 quite a lot, though I've yet to see an actual leaking upper hose (I'm assuimng you're talking about the upper hose).
Cheers,

no pic but i can tell you that i only notice the leak when i put my finger
under the hose where the hose and raiator meet. If the ring is broken or leaking can i get that part alone or do I need to get the hose and ring?

Sounds like you just need a new o-ring. Probably like a dollar at the dealer.
Don't forget to also buy some G12 to replace the antifreeze that's going to spill when you remove the hose to change the o-ring.
