Default radiator leaking

my radiator is leaking i checked it this last weekend to see why its leaking but didnt find any cracks or anything wrong with hoses so i put it back on. Today i get home from work and the same thing it still keeps on leaking like from under the radiator. If you can see on pic thats the area where its leaking on on that spot and also is that nipple suppose to be connected to anything

Isn't there a white plastic piece you can unscrew to drain the radiator in that area? Been too long since I looked under a Honda

Are you using the factory clamps? switch them out for ones you can
tighten with a screwdriver, the spring clips kinda suck. Also my stock
radiator had plastic ends and it started leaking where it was sealed.

but the leak is not even close to any of the pipes its coming from somewhere under the radiator or somewhere on that side. I was searching for info on other pages with similiar problems like this and i think i know what it could be. I think i have a high pressure leak. I will have to take it to a shop tomorrow so i can get it checked out

That piece is only supposed to be connected for auto's

I had to replace my rex's radiator because it had cracked where the stock intake attaches to the radiator, I believe because people put pressure on it by leaning on it and after so many years it just formed a crack.

Anyway they aren't too hard to replace, I got mine from napa for about 100 bucks and I installed it myself in a few hours. The biggest pains are draining it, removing the hoses, and getting any wires out of the way, after that it just lifts out, and you swap over any parts that didn't come with the new radiator.

Fill it, bleed it, (I also did the thermostat at this time) and you should be set!
