I would look around and see if you can find a better than stock radiator. I know some stock ones can be made with plastic side tanks which could be why yours is leaking.

Make sure it's actually the radiator that is leaking. There is a drain petcock down on that side.

that's my thought as well.

Check the hoses too.

My last coolant leak was a hose that finally split open.

previous one was the damn heater core and heater core hoses

could be something as stupid and simple as a pinched o-ring or broken o-ring in the drain on the bottom left of the radiator.

If it is the radiator i too recommend the solid aluminum. I replaced mine with the plastic sides and it broke again soon. Now its solid aluminum and i dont have a problem.
