Have you ever used any kind sealant on the inside of the hose or where it connects to make a better seal?

I'm just trying to figure out why the heck I am having so many issues trying to get those spring clamps to seal correctly. All the other style clamps seam to seal just fine. It's almost like the there is not enough overlap when the two sides of the spring clamp slide past one another, and it leaks there. I'm tempted to just put the aviation style ones on, but I really want the spring ones to work. I can imagine then really leaking when the system is hot and pressurized. Well hopefully I wont come home from Atlanta with a huge puddle of coolant under the car.
