The car runs regular temperature but low coolant light flashes and stays on. Then when I park after driving coolant is dripping from bottom right side of radiator. Why?

Well if it is coming from the radiator, then the radiator is probably cracked and needs to be replaced. The best way to test it is with a cooling system pressure tester. Here is a general how-to guide: https://www.2carpros.com/articles/radiator-pressure-test

You can borrow that tester from AutoZone, Advance Auto, Oreilly Auto Parts, or even Pepboys (I think) for free with a deposit. Just fill the system first, then pump it up, and follow the leak.

Let us know what you find and we'll help you more from there.
