Default Coolant leak

I have been noticing some fluid on the ground. When I checked fluids I was down almost a gallon of antifreeze. As I was filling it up I have noticed the right side rear of the engine appeared to be wet. When my truck was in the Dodge Dealer yesterday, they said it maybe coming from a tube that is at the rear of the engine.

Can someone confirm their thoughts? This dealer is really starting to loose my confidence.

Is this something I can change out if that is the case?

thanks

yes, there is a smaller rubber coolant hose between the turbo and engine, its easy to get to, the clamps are natorious for being loose and causing a leak, just tighten them up
