x2 on the rad, I kept having coolant sprayed all over the undercarriage after "most" trips, but not all.
I felt sure it was my hose to the coolant bottle, then my water pump & lower hose. Changed all these with no difference
Finally noticed coolant on the top of the bumper, pass side just like tiwvr1 says.
The rad is really crammed in there with A/C, you won't see it until you pull it but all my tabs were cracked that hold the plastic rad sidetank on. Poor setup. Got a new rad with the same poor setup but the leak is now gone!
