Fix it?... Hmmmm that's a great idea!!(kidding).
That's the plan can't tell much from top or underneath
Dripping off front crossmember. Just being lazy thought
There might be a likely culprit. Water pump and radiator
Are both fairly new.

Run the car hard. Get the temp way up.
Jack up and look.
Using just a pressure injection cap does not always
work if the leak is on the downhill side of the thermostat.
Sure hope it's not your water pump again.

When cold, put a finger on the bottoms of the hose junctions. I predict one will be wet.

I just had to replace my radiator, ~70K miles.
The plastic passenger side tank had separated
from the aluminum cooling stack. Saw rust all
over the affected area, and a puddle on the floor.
About $100 for an OEM replacement good for most
situations, up to $600 for a thicker radiator.

Lets "discuss" again whether any modifications are
necessary for a Fluidyne "drop in" radiator.... :-D

Get a pressure tester from your local auto parts store. OReilly, Autozone and others rent them. Pump the system up to about 15 lbs, guaranteed to find the leak.
