Default radiator leak

Hi all,

Can having too much radiator fluid cause it to leak out?
I filled up my radiator and reserve can yesterday ( I overfill a little on the can). I drove around and when I got home, I notice some radiator fluid dripping out from bottom left of radiator.

Today, I was getting ready to find/repair the leak. I drove around to get engine temp up then park. However, I dont see the leak anymore. THere is fluid in radiator (full ) and can (1/2 full).
Help?

Thank you.

hahaha...if the radiator is really leaking, then I rather replace it than trying egg or stop leak. Dont want my radiator to smell like egg drop soup...
