Default LEAKING ANTIFREEZE AFTER REPAIR

Hey there everyone-
Hoping I cant get a little insight from some of you regarding my Durango. I have a 2000 4 x 4 Magnum Engine with about 81K miles on it-its always run pretty well but a week ago as I was about 2 hrs from home the "check gages"light on the dash went on and as I noticed the temp was at 260 it started to overheat. I had a mechanic in the town take a look and he said he needed to replace the heater hose, upper hose assembly and radiator clamp and it would be fine. Well, its been running good since that repair and then tonight when I parked it in the driveway I noticed drops of antifreeze falling onto the ground. Now Im confused-my local mechanic checked for leaks when I returned from the initial reapir last week and said the truck was fine with no leaks anywhere but now I have this. Any ideas? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Track the leak and see where it goes.

Simply a loose hose after all the swaps and replacements. Find it or take it back and make them find it. No sweat.
