Strange Coolant Leak!?

Okay... I just did a timing belt change on my 1989 325is. While I was there I installed a thermostat, water pump and all new drive belts.

When I put everything together, all seemed well, but as the engine warmed up I began to notice a leak near the A/C Compressor. After investigating, it looks like I have coolant leaking out of the crankshaft position sensor. I attached a photo... it doesn't show it leaking but you can see where the coolant is bubbling up (it is green even though I just changed to BMW blue).

I noticed the rubber boot thing that is usually around the sensor (where mine is leaking) is gone... so do I just need to get a new sensor and wire assembly, or is there something else that I need to look for?

Thanks in advance.

Okay.... solved my own problem. The hose clamp just above that sensor was a bit too loose. No leaks now!
