you are leaking coolant. drive it for 15 minutes, come back, and wait till it cools, check it.

Cheapest would be two part epoxy or going to the junkyard and trying to find one is always an option.

uhhhh, your definitely leaking coolant, but are you filling your overlow tank? ummm. definitely just fill your radiator, just above the cores, so as not to have any confusion if it leaks out of your overflow port just below the cap, drive for a while, keeping an eye on your heat guage, check to see if your still leaking if its around the radiator look for a crack, if not it may be your upper radiator hose, or lower, as well as a smaller 3/8 tubing which allows flow into the cylinder head

lol

this is cracking me up

use "MIGHTY PUTTY" as seen on t.v

If leak persists use two part epoxy to cover area till you can get a new radiator.

FYI. shut your engine down before you even get close to pegging your eng. temp 3/4 should be automatic shut down and figure out the problem.
