chazola, I'm pretty confident in the location of the leak, and I actually started out thinking it must be a hose. but after running my hand under the hose every other day for a couple weeks and coming up dry I have convinced myself that its not dripping down. guess I need to know how much a new radiator costs, but could use other cheap suggestions and a time estimate for someone with half a brain and ten thumbs.

thanks folks.
