I have a Grand Caravan. I have a small leak right now. I see radiator fluid sputtering out of one of the metal hose lines going into the radiator. As of right now it only leaks while running. I have put about a bottle of fluid in it over the last six weeks. I was able to see the fluid trails running down the side of the plastic on the radiator. Today was the first times I was able to see it sputtering out of the line. There a several of these lines going into the radiator under the main hose. It looked to be coming out of the top metal line. I try to keep my fluid level in the holding tank between min and max. It is currently about in that area. Added fluid yesterday. 5/27/17. Any help is appreciated. Thank You, Shawn F.

Rent a pressure tester at auto parts and pressure test coolant system to see where leaking. Engine is shut off when you do this so it will show where it is actually leaking.
