Leak from upper radiator , still leaks after replacement



So last month my upper radiator hose split, I bought a new one from the dealer , replaced it, and all was fine. Now, its leaking again, but , it is extremely small, super small. If I were to park it there would be a dime size drop on the ground and that's it after . I thought I had a bad hose but the hose checks out fine. I cant tell were the leak is coming from this time, any ideas, hose has been changed. Is there a way to tighten?

There's an o-ring in there, might that be the problem?

where you the one who replaced the hose? Maybe there is a hairline crack on the radiator itself
