The leak seems to be coming from the top drivers side
makes me think its a hose but then again i have no idea.
i want to take the the top "bracket" off and start the car to see for sure.
it seems to leak if i run with out the AC on but I really can not tell
any help, besides take it back to the guy that did the work. As I said before, it is a new radiator that I bought, and had someone install.

One more thing, the over flow container keeps loosing water or coolant, It is on the passenger side and the drain hose is too.
So....
