Have you found where your coolant leak is coming from? Have you done a coolant pressure test, this is guaranteed to find your leak.
Yep, it is coming from the upper right hand corner of the radiator as you are looking at the vehicle. It is leaking between the plastic and the aluminum. I could possibly have gotten it patched but I found on on ebay for a good price. There is also coolant gathering underneath some sort of junction that is over the right (once again, as you are looking at it) valve cover. Some hoses come together to some metal device junction, I haven't looked it up to see what it is yet, and there is some coolant residue there. Any thoughts on that?

I know the majority of the coolant is coming from the radiator tho.

With time, I hope you are able to learn all the general parts on your truck, it will be easier for us to help you and better for you when you have a problym.
I guess you are talking about a a coolant leak under the throttle body and above the drivers side valve cover, if so that is the preheat system Rover uses to warm the air entering the intake manifold. That should be fixed sooner then later and in the mean time keep you coolant bottle full to insure you don't over heat the engine.
