I noticed a leak that seems to come from somewhere in front or top of the radiator, and only on the drivers side. It drips into the front lip (see picture) so I can't really see where its coming from, any ideas? Also, there is some green dried up gunk that seems to be coming out the end of one of the hoses, i'm know at this mileage they need to be replaced, but I figured i'd see if it could be a more serious issue.

First of all thank you so much for your donation. There is two way's you can try to pin down where the leak is coming from put coolant dye in the cooling system and track it down that way. Or the best way is to get a cooling system pressure tester and use it to pump the cooling system and look for leak's while it is under pressure. If you check the auto part's you maybe able to rent one. Let me know what you find out.
