check if it is coming from one of the hoses or if there is actually a crack in the plastic. The hoses are easy and cheap to replace, you can get them at any autozone. A crack in the radiator, well i haven't heared of any quick fixes but I guess if it is "small" enough i would try epoxy.

If it's coming from where the black plastic (nylon) tank attaches to the aluminum core, you have a gasket leak. The tank seals on a gasket. You may want to try removing the rad and tightening the 'tabs' that hold the tank on. From experience I have to tell you that there is no real good repair. Also, watch what type of 'stop leak' products you add. They can quickly clog up a heater core too!

Hope this helps!

I had a similar problem they sell leak fix at walmart for a couple bucks. The one I used is silver/grey in a clear bottle. Worked great for me.
