Default Mysterious coolant leak

I just replaced the after run pump and am certain it is not leaking. Coolant is collecting in the valley just below the pump. I suspect the metal coolant line that is in the valley on the driver's side is leaking but can't spot a leak, just the small puddle of coolant.

Yes, two new hoses and four new wide stainless screw type hose clamps. I now suspect a possible head gasket seep.
