Default where is the water leak

ok, she made it all the way from Seattle to San Diego, but the other day I found antifreeze dripping from the driverside. There is no hose over there and could not see anyplace for it to come from. Going to pull off the shroud tomorrow and see if I can get a better look. I'm thinking the radiator might have cracked since I cant find a hose or connection in that area.
any suggestions out there?

Could be a radiator problem, could be a freeze plug on the block, where's it coming from?

not a freeze plug. Water is driping from frame brace right under the radiator on the driverside. Drips from there regardless of angle of the truck. that is what is leading me towards a cracked radiator.
