Default Coolant Leak

I have a 93 F150 5.0 4x4 E4OD. I've noticed lately that I have a little coolant puddle under my truck kind of between the back of the motor and the tranny only after it's been sitting for more than a day. I did recently change the radiator, hoses thermostat. I tightened all hoses even with a warm engine when the hoses are softer but I still find a small puddle every now and then. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

The puddle is right in the middle of the vehicle. The heater hoses look like the go from the right rear of the front tire to the front of the motor. Could it be leaking somewhere else?

Heater hose passes through the fire wall..could be dripping onto the transmission bell housing and going from there. Either way you need to inspect them all..

Also, it could be a leaking heater core. Check the AC drain nipple and see if there's and coolant on it.
