Just did the exact same thing this weekend (waterpump)! I have a tube of silicon grease that I use for O-rings and rubber hoses. Smear some grease on the inside of the hose and it goes right on. You probably could use vasaline in a pinch. The grease keeps the rubber from becoming welded on to the radiator, and I have never had a problem with leaks.
Did you use some sealer on the gasket? I've found that Locktite 518 (now Permatex Gasket Maker 51814, I think) works the best.
