don't assume it cant leak in a certain spot because you just replaced something recently. there is a good chance that isn't it leaking, but you shouldn't rule it out. The hose or the clamps could have been faulty from the beginning.

newspaper on the ground isn't the best way to try and pin point. if its leaking from some place like a high spot, it could trail down the side of something, such as a hose, or a portion of the intake manifold, then drop a couple of inches where its really leaking from. Ive seen this happen before. a thorough visual inspection may tell you what you need to know, but no guarantees.

I would do what Chinky said, a pressure test, that will tell you what you need to know.
