Radiator leak from front (??)
 
2002 Express 3500 5.7 V8 Gas

I have a leak that appears to be coming from the front of the radiator. It looks like a small pinhole jet of coolant coming from the driver's side about 3 inches down from the top. My question is, is there any possible hose or connection on the front of this radiator?

I have verified that it is not coming from the radiator hose, nor is it from the transmission or oil cooler lines. I've looked in the Haynes manual, but I don't see any lines going into the radiator from the front.

I'm thinking I'll need to replace the radiator, but wanted to throw out a quick post to see if anyone has any experience with a similar problem.

Thanks!

I was able to get a better view of it today, it looks to be coming from somewhere between the core of the radiator and the side tank, right where the two meet.

Again, not seeing any hoses or connections, so looks like it's going to have to be pulled and repaired/replaced.

I'd take it to a radiator shop.
