The others have described how to replace the clamp, but that is only a partial fix. You'll probably find that the surface to which the hose is clamped is covered with a layer of dried coolant crud that is preventing the hose from sealing properly. The best bet is to drain some coolant, remove the hose(s) and clean up the surfaces so a good seal can be achieved. If the hoses are spongy, bulging, or otherwise damaged, consider replacing them.
