Re: rad hose connector leak
If it's just the hose, replace it. If it's the plastic where the hose connects to rad, you'll need a new radiator.

I didn't even realize it was metal - so used to seeing the plastic tanks these days.

Re: rad hose connector leak
My radiator leaked there, and it was just that the fitting was lose. Mine has threads there that a fitting fits into, with a rubber seal in-between.
