I recently drove to a friends house, we got out of the car and there was radiator fluid leaking on to the ground. I popped the hood and saw fluid spraying from what looked like the radiator, it was a mist. The hoses seemed to be in tact. I was told that the radiator "grill " was actually the condenser and behind that there is supposedly another grill that is black that is for the radiator. I have plenty of room to work so I would really like to know if it is the radiator or perhaps the water pump. Please help and I apologize if my description is not very good.

If it's the water pump, the coolant would leak near the right front tire, the radiator will leak at the front.
Get a pressure test to figure it out, this will save you from replaceing the wrong parts!
