Coolant escaping around hoses 900 1993

My radiator cap was cracked so I bought a (green) replacement from the local auto parts store a couple weeks ago. Now I notice I have coolant escaping around the end of several hoses and I have few small puddles of coolant on the garage floor in the morning.

Is the cap failing to relieve the pressure? Loose clamps? Something worse? Thanks for any ideas you may have.

I can go buy a cap from the dealer, but hate to waste the $30 if that wouldn't help it.
