I got my coolant hoses from eeuroparts.com. He also sells a kit of hoses on ebay. Another option is to call Jim at Sobstory and he'll direct you which to change personally.
I have two common leaks like you describe. One is the junction of hoses on the back of the waterpump. Seems all three of these seep. The other place more likely to be your leak is from the surface where the intake manifold meets the head. When doing a headgasket you have to really clean off the old manifold gasket or the new one may leak. Anders has described to me that there are cutouts on the bottom of gasket to allow coolant to safely seep out and away from the intake channnels if there is an internal gasket leak. Take a look and see if either of these could be your source. As I think about it, a cracked coolant resevouir can also leak and it may run down the engine bay to appear in a more forward or central spot.
Post a Q to Anders for more info on Dexcool - he's done some recent study.
