Engine Coolant Leak at Radiator

[kyleaaronburkett]

I noticed an engine coolant leak and added UV dye. It seems like it's leaking from a joint near the radiator. Any suggestions on what I should check, or what could be the issue?

Any ideas at all guys? No one has seen a leak from here like this?

If a plastic and aluminum radiator's leaking you know what your choices are. Get a new one, and I don't hear many good stories about the cheap knock-offs.

Yeah, I'm hoping I don't have to replace the whole radiator but we will see I guess. The leak is undeniably coming from this spot so unfortunately it's not the problem with the T pipe so many report

I have an appointment at a shop on Monday for brakes , I plan to point out the leak and ask for an opinion. I am praying that it's an issue with assembly and not with any of the components ... It's clear that the leak is from the spot I circled
