All of the coolant leaked out yesterday and it looks like maybe at the hose connection at the bottom of the radiator but its hard to see. Is this a common issue? If so, where to get a replacement hose? many thanks!!

Re: coolant leaked
Common, not really. A few different Vendors have hoses. One thought, make sure the lower hose isn't rubbing on the steering couple - wearing a hole in it. app.php/page-vendor-list

Re: coolant leaked
Might want to get familiar with the Tech Wiki-> Parts-> Parts Interchange where you can see the aftermarket hoses that fit, along with many other parts too.

Re: coolant leaked
If mine has leaked, it's always been there. Check the hose and make sure it's tight but otherwise it may need replacing.
