Heater core hose leaking at connection to Upper radiator hose
So I was told that there is a leak in my upper radiator so attempted to replace it and found out that the leak is on the heater core hose instead. The leak is about an inch away from where it connects to the bottom of the upper rad hose and you can see it drip out. The leak is from what appears to be a gasket on the heater core hose. Is there a way to replace that connector instead of having to install a new heater core hose?? Help me, Help me Please.

You can try to use real-oem.com to find the exact part number and buy a whole hose, remove the connector and replace. See if there are any markings on the clic-R clamps to replace with an exact one.
I'd won't recommend doing this. The old connector will be baked onto the hose and removing it may damage the hose so it won't seal at all even with a new clic-R clamp. I have a minor issue with my power steering hose which is a little bit damp after replacing the reservoir. How much are you being charged to replace the whole hose?

Check out this recent discussion. The problem is most likely the o-ring inside that connector.

^yea.
You can either buy a replacement hose and remove the o ring from it and put it in your current hose. But see the last post of that thread. OP says it was the radiator hose connection. I mentioned it here. Take a look around the connection on the radiator hose first. |

I had this problem few months ago and i had to buy a brand new hose for it (I changed the o-ring as others suggested but it kept leaking)

can probably just replace the fitting, something like this vw heater hose fitting might or might not fit:
