Coolant leak, radiator hose question

Coolant leak, radiator hose question
Dealer flushed my radiator a few weeks ago, now I have coolant leak.
Guessing maybe a hose is failing?
Of colurse they didn't mention the condition of the hoses, or the motor mount leak, etc.
I do most of my own work but paying them to flush the radiator and change the transmission fluid was a splurge...as usual its really a pia, since I have to go back. I'm thinking of picking up some silicone hoses to have installed, anyone recommend the ones on eBay? And are the hoses easy to install?
Thanks!

Find the leak first....
Some ebay silcone hoses have had an isdue for quality issues...pinhole leaks...so it might be worth sticking with a brand name or using a vendor so you have a phone# and address for a contact ...
leaks in the resiviour tank (along the seam, it is under preasure on the s), or the thermostat gasket are common.
