Should this be a issue? I don't want to just tighten down this hoses, then have the pressure get diverted to another one. any advice?

If it was green fluid leaking from a hose near the radiator... then you've got about a 99.999% chance it's a coolant hose.
The water and oil systems are completely separate, so low oil or anything else like that won't affect the coolant system (if the water & oil ever are mixing, you've most likely got some $eriou$ engine problems). Sounds like it was just a leaking clamp, and you fixed the leak when you replaced the clamp. You don't have to worry about screwing up system pressures by fixing leaks.
