Default something wrong with radiator, plz help

Hi guys,
I have an accord 97 , 4 cylinders, non vtech. The radiator keeps leaking water from the bottom of the radiator. I had check all the hoses and there is no leaking. So i decide to replace the radiator with the new radiator. After installed everything, i take it for a test and the water still leaks from up top. The fan does turn on when it hot. And again i check the hoses, and still no leak. It dripping from the metal of the radiator. I don't how to go about fixing this problem. Plz help, I appreciate it.

thanks

The old radiator is leaking, so i replace with a new one but then the new one also leak. Yea i will return the new one but my question is , is it my engine problem to cause the radiator to handle exceeding pressure and leaks or is it just happen that the new radiator is suck and leaks. I just wanna ask you guys cuz i don't want to replace the radiator and find out it's not the radiator problem.
