Default Shop changed thermostat, now car leaks coolant

Had some work done and figured they could tackle that while it was in the shop but now the car leaks coolant. End up around the front right wheel. Any ideas on what to check? I would just take it back in but they are closed today and If I can do it I dont mind. It didnt leak at all before and I checked what I could after jacking up the car and looking into the engine cavity. I dont see where its leaking but it sure is! Any help would be great thanks!

What did you find? All of that stuff is on the drivers side.

It was a hose clamp not tightened enough on the "A" hose on this diagram:

It didnt leak when sitting but while running it was spitting out pretty good. About a half turn on the clamp did the trick!

Thanks for everything!
