Coolant Leak Question

Coolant Leak Question
I have a 2000 Bonneville that is leaking coolant from the hose that goes into the engine. I have attached a picture that shows the exact spot of the leak. My question is, should that hose be pushed in tighter? I have tightened up the clamp as far as it will go, and have tried loosening and pushing the hose further in, but it wont budge. When the car is warmed up, you can see the coolant dripping down, and it of course is making burning smell. How long can you drive the car with this problem, before I run out of time?
thanks

I had that issue before, and I found it helps if you get the clamp right next to the bump on the opening. You should be able to feel it through the hose, it should bump up a little bit. Try putting the clamp snug up against that.

This seems to have stopped it. Thanks very much for your help.
