Check for a vacuum leak. If you swapped out your water pump last week, then there is a possibility that one of the vacuum hoses may not have been put on properly & worked itself loose.

As for your hose leak, re-check your clamps. The clamps might be a little too far down on the hose & will only leak when the engine/coolant is hot. Try sliding the clamps a little closer to the edge of the hose.

Anyhow, hope this helps...
