This morning I notice water in a coolant green color coming out somewhere just above the sump and I am scared, is this a serious repair problem?

You do not need to upgrade your radiator. Single cores are O.E. On those vehicles and are sufficient enough.

If you are leaking coolant, you must have a coolant pressure test done to determine where the leak is coming from. Repair the leak, properly add and bleed the coolant and your overheating problem should go away.
