I recently had this same problem. I purchased the new hose from the same vendor as you. Initially everything was fine. Later down the road I did the headgasket job and was checking all hoses for leaks and had the leak you describe. I tightened as hard as I could and waited while car running, stil leaked. Knowing the hose was good and had worked just fine before I continued to mess with it. I ended up just repositioning the hose clamp on the hose and tightened as much as I could without cracking anything and all is well and has been for a while now.
