Coolant Leak

Happy Holidays everybody. Just wondering if some of you guys can help me. I think I may have a coolant leak, just trying to get other peoples opinions on the matter. I took a video and so if you guys can tell me if you see a leak in this specific hose that would be wonderful.

Pretty obvious to me with the red coolant leaking on that fitting. Are those the crimped hose fittings I've read so many gripes about?

I don't know how you could even question it. Clearly it's a leak. Also, a crimped fitting should NOT wobble around either. That's the problem, the crimped sleeve is loose.
