How to prevent leaks from washing machine drain hose connection?

[inno]

I have a new washing machine installed, and there is a slight leakage from the drain hose connection. It has been secured using a hose clamp, and I have also tried tightening the clamp. However, I am still getting a slight leakage?

Does anyone have any advice for this? How tight does the clamp need to be? Do I need to push the hose further in? Do I need to put some plumber’s tape on the spigot before attaching the hose?

No problem Mitch and thanks for the clarification. In my situation a few things had been tried to stop the leak including teflon, replacement washer and tightening the connection. Nothing worked and therefore a replacement hose was installed. Always hard to know whether to spend time and try and fix something or just go and replace the faulty part, I guess it depends on how quickly you can get the replacement.
