Re: radiator leak
It might be high water pressure in system? When did you last check your radiator cap?

Cracked head pushing pressure into the cooling system?

Re: radiator leak
It's difficult to say why it is leaking. If no or low antifreeze is in the system it will rust and cause a leak.
Take it to a radiator shop and ask for a free quote on repairs. They will tell you the fault.
To make out a head problem, cracked or blown gasket open the radiator cap when cold and start the vehicle, it will through water out the radiator while the engine is still cold.
