Sounds as if the plastic radiator end tank could be cracked allowing fluid to leak out. It could also be due to a leaking radiator cap. Do you have any pictures of the leaking area?

Right there it drips from the bottom of that . Is that a cap or just solid

That is a great question hopefully a member with specific experience with this radiator can chime in. Being that is has a hex head I would attempt to turn it out without putting too much stress to fracture the plastic. If it comes out some sealer on the threads should alleviate a small leak.

If it does not come out and the leaking persists a temporary fix using epoxy or a plastic weld such as JB. I have heard reasonable success using both. This is of course only temporary and a new radiator will likely be necessary at some point in the future.

Hopefully that was helpful.
