Default Radiator Leaking

Hello all, I have a dumb question and just want to make sure it is my radiator that needs to be replaced instead of something smaller. I was driving my car around today and I saw some steam spray so I pulled over and looked at it. There was coolant bubbling from the top part of the radiator. Right at the top where there are metal grates. I let it cool for about 20 to 30 minutes and popped off the cap. I tried pouring water into the radiator to see if it was holding anything and sure enough it poured out of the bottom at a pretty quick pace. Got my car towed back and want to make sure that's all I should replace? It wasn't coming out of the hoses, and as far as I know the fan is okay
