Managed to put the new Nissens radiator in my 745T and everything went very well, albeit slowly. Runs fine, but there is a very tiny leak around where the small hose to the coolant tank attaches to the radiator. I've tightened it as tight as I think is safe considering that the radiator tanks/hose attachment pipes are plastic. What is a good thing to do now?

FWIW, that hose leaked slightly when I put it on, had to tighten up a bit. But did not leak when hot/pressurized. From appearance of coolant drip, it is leaking only after the coolant/radiator cools down. And very little at that.
