If the radiator is new, chances are it is the thermostat.

The leak is coming from the drivers side of the motor is it the thermostat that needs to be replace and the hub that goes with it because I put some anti-freeze in it this morning and started the car and it was leaking from under the car and I look at the motor and saw it was leaking from the thermostat area

There isn't a hub involved with the t-stat. Can you upload a pic of what you see? That way I can be more certain. Also, is the pump leaking too?
