Get some UV Leak Detection Dye for cooling systems and install in your radiator. Shine a fluorescent light to see where it is coming from. Available from most Auto parts stores.



Ensure you are not overfilling the radiator.

Slight leak in my radiator, the drips 'glow' under fluorescent light, making it easy to trace.
