Radiator fluid leak

Recently there has been a small leak on the top part of the radioator that sometimes leaks down and gets sprayed all over the engine! I think it may be the clamp that goes on the hose next to the cap that is not tight enough but im not sure. Has anyone had this issue before?

We have seen spring clamps fail over time and begin to lift when the system is pressurized, I suggest finding a pressure tester to pump up the system and find you leak. If it is around that clamp then replace it with a worm clamp.

Let me know if I can help with anything!
