small coolant leak

so i just got my car back from the shop the head was fully rebuilt, cars running great but i could not help to notice this morning underneath the car coming from the corner of the t-case a drip of coolant. im narrowing it down the where it can be coming from i took these pics up top in the motor. Is this probably where it is coming from. The location is below the throttle body. anyone?

That is definitely your leak. Put the clamp back on and you should be good. That hose goes to the t/b.

its a hard space to work in, i dont really have the tools to grab the clip all mine are to short, plus the hose seems like it has no slack to put back on. ill probably have someone do it for me or take it back to the shop on tuesday

Hopefully the shop is not to far. Be aware that the hose could pop off and leave you stranded. Maybe put a zip tie on it for the mean time if you can't get the clamp back on.

The hose is on, otherwise you would have a large stream of coolant pouring out. The mechanic forgot to put the clamp back into its proper place. You can see where it should be from the impression it left in the hose.

I've changed all of these hoses, it is not too hard to do once the battery and battery plate are removed. The tool of choice is a long needle nose with the jaw bent to 90 degrees.

Im pretty sure i fixed the leak the coolant hose that connects to the throttle body was cut probably from a screwdriver. So far so good no wet hoses.
