Default Radiator Leak question..

On the passenger side, underneath the radiator, I'm getting a small leak. There's like a rubber bushing under there and the fluid is showing up on the underside of that. I can get the engine to operating temp and there's no leaks or steam noticeable. The leak only shows itself on the occassion that I happen to have driven the car hard some. The motor at operating temp should be pressured up enough to show a leak I thought. Is there even more pressure in the system when the car is driven hard, is that why the leak only shows up when ive driven it harder? No steam, just fluid. I dont believe there are hoses or anything on the passenger side of the radiator are there? So it'd have to just be a crack in the rad. itself?
