Slow leak. Looks to be either hose is damaged or more likely the clamp failed.

I dont think so. Maybe 20 bucks for hose and 5 for clamp.
I'd remove clamp and examine hose. May just be the clamp not sealing tight enough.

I had the same issue last year. It took the dealer three tries to fix it... A screw on hose clamp did the trick. Make sure you clean around the hose connection and top off the radiator.

Thanks x818. I’ll be going to a private mechanic shop and not the dealer. I’ll let him know these details. What did the dealer charge you ?
