faucetleak
I bought a new faucet by Glacier Bay.
The faucets has 2 hoses attached to it.
I tightly connected the hoses to another hose using a male-to-male adapter.
When i turn the water on i see water leaking, but it looks like its leaking from the hose end joint. Not where the actual connection is.
Coukd this be a defective product?
Brass Hose Cap (~$1.50 @ Home Depot and Lowes).
You may also be able to find some with tethers (for those of us that constantly lose things like this) .
Actually, it sounds more like a siphon or vacuum breaker working fine. It's not leaking with pressure on. When you turn off the sillcock and release pressure on the hose, it moves the water in the hose away from the sillcock, creating a vacuum at the faucet, which causes the siphon breaker valve to open. Then the water rebounds a bit and some comes out. They have only failed when they leak under pressure, or do not open at all. The brass cap thing on top of this sillcock is the built-in vacuum-breaker. The type described in Steven's answer seems more likely given where you say water is coming out. In either case, I don't see any sign of failure from your description of the behavior.

You have the wrong fitting to connect those two hoses. It looks like the end of the fitting attached to the hose on the fixture is correct, but the end attached to the hose to the water supply is not correct. Take the supply hose and the connecting fitting into a plumbing supply and ask what connector is needed.
