Ford 460 coolant leaks

Hey fellow Ford guys,

I'm a long time lurker, but this is my first post. I have a 1993 ford f350 with the 460. I am getting some coolant leaking out of the pipe where it connects onto the thermostat housing. I tried tightening the hose clamp and it helped but I'm still getting some leakage. No cracks on the pipe that I could see. But there could be a small one there, althougth the pipe looks like it's in great condition. Please let me know your thoughts on this problem or if you have had a similar issue.

Thanks in advance,
Tristan
