So you're probably not overheating therefore the fan doesn't need to be on. It could be the radiator cap but as everyone said your hoses should not leak. Take them off and look at the where it seats. Tighten the hose clamps. Right now it's not overheating; fix the leak.

ive took them off and cleaned them put them back it just seems when the car heats up the leak starts....it drips from the bottom of the hoses on top where the 2 goes in its the hose on the passenger and it runs down the fan..also the ac fan comes on..but here the past couple of days when i turn the heat on the fan doesnt...

The fan shouldn't come on if you turn the heat on. find the source of the leak and fix it. As stated, the fan shouldn't come on until the engine is above operating temp.

No. Whats happening is that when your car gets warm the thermostat opens sending coolant to the radiator(which leaks). Like I said, find the leak and fix it. If your car was overheating the radiator cap would let the now pressurized coolant(thermal expansion) into the overflow bottle and eventually out through the coolant bottle vent. Without knowing the actual water temp you can't say that the fan should be on.
