coolant leak after a flush

so I just recently flushed the coolant in my 2006 f250 6.0. I followed the instructions in the tech folder but now I have an issue. my check engine light turned on and I notice a leak under my truck that appears to be coolant. I did the coolant flush two days ago. it is leaking from both driver side and passenger side. here are some photos of what I see. need some help

I don't see any noticeable leaks from the top. Maybe I am not looking in correct location. I don't see a orange or tan hose

Thanks that helped locating it...so it looks like mine is orange and about 3 inches on length? does this about right? And I did happen to see it dripping from the rear of that hose.

If this is the hose how difficult is it to replace? Looks like a really tight spot to get your hands in.

Follow instructions from the link below

It is not as difficult as it would seem, just a little tight in there. Order your hose ahead of time if you can, the local dealer wanted $85 out the door.
