Default Leaking...

I noticed today that there was a small puddle of anti-freeze under my truck. It is snowing out right now so the most i have done is opened the hood to see where it is coming from. It seems the be coming from the bottom left corner (driver's side) of the radiator. Do you think it is the radiator that is leaking or a line? The temperature was unusually warm last week, by that i mean mid-50s and this week it has been really cold, and yesterday (friday), when i discovered the leak it was in the single digits.

Thanks

It seems to be leaking right where it mounts (driver's side)...fluid is coming out, no a lot, it's just soaked in fluid. Also, when i looked at the front of the radiator, where the aluminum meets the plastic, that it looked like fluid ran down the side (where aluminum meets plastic) at one point, it's not wet now, but just looks like it was at one point. Does this mean i have a bad radiator, need to replace it? The only problem i have with it is that is leaks. It functions properly, never any problems.

eggs stop radiator leaks! no yoke just the egg white.

Make sure your drain valve is closed all the way and that its not from that.
