the hose that comes out of the bottom of the radiator and into the water pump is leaking, there are no holes in it, i have drained the radiator and took the clamp off and slid the hose all the way up and re tightened the clamp re filled the radiator, and it still leaks out of the top of the hose

on a lot of vehicles it would be a leaking water pump. on most vehicles the lower rad hose goes onto the water pump, the water pump has a hole in the housing that allows coolant to leak out when it leaks past the seal. coolant runs down the neck and then down the hose. when asking a car question its always helpful to let us know what kind of vehicle it is. I think I may have misunderstood, if its a metal radiator, either the hose neck is misshaped due to using a screwdriver or similar object to get the hose off or the neck to tank solder is leaking. if its plastic I have no idea other than a tank to core seal.

Quite possibly the radiator is leaking , and not the hose. Take it to a radiator repair place and have them check it out for you.
