All the clamps are tight and it is definitely coolant. I think it is coming from where the plastic meets the metal. Is this fixable or does it need to be replaced? Thanks

Replace. Not repairable.

See, that's why I use quick set concrete when I get a rad leak. Then you don't have to worry about flushing it, checking coolant levels or corrosion! Makes the block super duper strong too.
