Coolant leak just below upper radiator hose...

[Ptatohed]

I have a coolant leak. It does not leak when the car is parked and it does not leak for the first several minutes once the car is started. However, once the engine is warm, it leaks pretty steadily. I can't get a good look at the source. What I do know is it is below the upper radiator hose (but I am 100% sure it is not the hose nor the hose connection) and above the bottom of the radiator. Somewhere in the middle. Does anybody have any ideas where the leak could be coming from? Or at least how to find the leak. Thanks so much.

It's probably where the fan bracket bolts up to the end tank. Take the radiator out and have a shop replace the end tank and clean your radiator for $65 or so. After that, be sure not to tighten the nut too hard, as it puts stress on the end tank and will crack again. It's a common problem.

Thanks a lot TY.
