Thanks for any info or tips!

I have a 2001 Explorer Sport Trac 4x4

Recently my coolant temp sensor went bad and before I could fix it I developed a leak.

I've since replaced the sensor and thermostat.

The weird thing is some days I get just drips other days I lose quite a bit of coolant.

I'm having trouble pinning down where the leak is since I have minimal tools.

But I've noticed coolant spray on my air filter housing, serpentine belt squeals after getting wet ( I assume with coolant) and liquid on the plastic housing of the radiator. I suspect it's coming from the upper hose but I'm not sure.

I'll post pics.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If this in fact the problem area if it's not the hose could it be that old clamp? And is that clamp too far down on the hose to form a good seal?
