Default coolant leak

I have been trying to find this problem with coolant leaking. It drips on passenger side of the car. Its not the hoses and its not the overflow bottle. I cant find the leak anywhere. What do you think is the problem

sry its at the radiator wheres its leaking not the firewall so its not the heater core. I think my radiator is leaking but it only leaks when it pressures up after you turn the car off. then it just stops leaking
