How old are your hoses? Are they getting a bit soft from age?
If you tighten the hose clamps too tightly, they can cut into the hose and cause to start leaking. I recently replaced all my radiator hoses and reused the old hose clamps, it would leak but I couldn't figure out where it was going. Turned out that the old hose clamps weren't applying even pressure around the hose due to age, so I got some new hose clamps for a few bucks and the problem was solved.
Try to check immediately after you have shut the car off, as if it is a very small hole in a hose, it may not show up until the car has warmed up.
Do you ever have steam out of your exhaust or have ever seen coolant in your oil?
