Question Antifreeze

While changing my oil today I noticed a good amount of green liquid(antifreeze) on the drivers side of the radiator where the radiator is filled with antifreeze. It is also below the radiator where the actual body wraps underneath it and it is all around that area, even in the fenderwell. This is not a leak that is dripping heavily, it's not really dripping at all. It is just accumulating. Is this time for a new radiator? I wouldn't mind getting a new 3 row. I am just trying to get different opinions. Thanks.

I would say that definitly you have a leak. Sounds like there could be a crack in the radiator tank. I would either replace it or if the center core is still in very good shape, repair the tank.

Well, if you want to get a new radiator thats good. But if its just a small leak you can stretch your money another year with radiator stop leak if used properly.

get a new radiator, the last thing you want is that to burst, you might end up scoring cyclinders and what not, and thats not good.
