Head Gasket Replaced - now external coolant leak

Hello -Prius community am at wits end here- bought a 2014 Prius V wagon w/163000 miles - ran great for a couple days then had telltale signs of head gasket failure: rough grinding startup, low Engine coolant in reservoir with pressure, and squishy sounds In dash (however it wasn’t overheating)

Checked it out and sure enough two cylinders were leaky- had extended warranty so got it fixed at local shop - took almost a month! Got it back and it worked for a day then during a long trip I found low Engine coolant, and on way back it started to overheat (limped it home) found external coolant leak on drivers side- couldn’t tell where from- could it be from hoses (maybe dislodged during the repair)? The coolant residue/liquid was near a connection but could tell if it was leaking. The Oil Was not murky, engine Is not grinding at startup and There is no pressure in coolant reservoir - so I’m hoping it didn’t blow the head gasket again- I’m taking it to the dealership to diagnose but I haven’t seen anyone with a leak in that spot...thoughts?

 

You nailed it. My mechanic or whomever did the head gasket repair didn’t reattach the hose clamp to the egr cooler- it was dripping streaming out after I revved the engIne - needle nose pliers and some contorting of my wrist and elbow was able to move the clamp back over the attachment and voila no more drips - I topped off the coolant and will test drive it tomorrow- I hope the overheat didn’t cause any damage - engine sounds fine -but there was no steam and the overheat flashed a only a couple times when I limped it home - thanks!
