Coolant Leak After changing Thermostat (1 Viewer)

[WhiteWhaleTamer]

So I recently replaced my T Stat with some parts from autozone, From what I've read the foam gasket I bought it junk. Anyway after doing the install and replacement I drove the car about 4 miles and then parked it in my garage with no leak. The next morning I came out and there was a lake of coolant on the floor. I figured that it had been the hose that runs off the back of the T Stat housing in a U shape towards the drivers side. Replaced it with some hose I got at Napa (Not oem, just a hose I cut to fit) and that didnt solve the problem. Then last night I was looking around for the leak after adding some coolant and it looks like it coming from a area with two clamps towards the bottom of the engine. Any help I can get would be awesome. Thanks you guys and I'll try to get some photos
