Default leaking radiator

I found a little leak spot on the ground under the right front of the car today. I got under it and it was a little DexCool. It was weeping out under the screws for the Shrouds. I pulled the shrouds off and the coolant was around the frame. I checked all of the hoses and they are dry.
I can't see the radiator and can't figure out where else this could be coming from without pulling the radiator. I was curious if anyone else has had this problem?

Thanks

Default RE: leaking radiator

On my disco II, i took off the upper fanshroud and could see pretty good with a flashlight. Mine was leaking on the drivers' side near the top where the lines go into thehead (side) of the radiator, a friend of mine owns a radiator shop so he said that he'd try to patch it. He did,and it's still holding ( 1 yr later). If you absolutely have to drive it i'd keep a VERY close eye on it. Rovers don't like to be overheated from what I hear and youcoulddrop a sleeve and loose themotor.

If you have owned a Rover, you have had this problem.
Go have a shop pressure test the coolant system, if it is the radiator, see if yours can be recored or if an aftermarket radiator is available.
Don't let it go long, don't want to drop a sleeve.
