95 4 Runner Losing coolant

I cleaned the engine pretty well. there was a lot of oil leaks. Here are pictures of where the fluid leaks might be. Right under the transmission I found a puddle after running it for 10 min. . I circled one photo that had a drop of coolant under it. The hose seemed nice and tight, but tightened the hose clamp a little anyway.
The oil cap is nice and clean. So not sure its the head gasket.
Any ideas?
thanks

if your losing coolant, i would check the radiator first for any leaks. i would then check the exhaust coming out of the pipe when you first start it. It might be a head gasket then. I dunno know, but you said you can see it visibly leaking.

The hose circled is to the thermostat housing. Suggest that you cut a 1/2" off the end of it where it is leaking, using a razor blade, and put it back on using a new clamp. Refill your coolant after. You can rent / borrow a coolant system pressure tester to connect to your radiator inlet, which will allow you to pressurize the system and check for leaks.
