Take a rag and get real intimate. Make love to your cooling system to be sure. Pat down the wetness until you find the special spot where shes leaking. Rub it around and around a bit more until you pin point that the radiator is truly leaking.

Usually the rad leaks from the tanks (top and bottom) when it fails. It's a juicy experience but you'll have piece of mind once you find it. And nothing beats that high.
Man...

I need a cold shower after reading that post.
