Hi guys i am new to the forum, not sure on the rules at all whether i should search before i post or what not?

This is the first Jeep i have owned, its a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Limited Auto.

Had it for about 2 weeks but the last week or so has been a nightmare, we noticed a leak on the drivers side of the engine, so gather its a coolant leak, but the coolant was still showing full so wasn't sure, few days later it got worse and it definatley is coolant, not sure where it was coming from but was hoping you guys could help, last time we drove it the temperature reached just short of the red, when we stopped and opened the bonnet there was alot of steam coming from the same place, i took this picture if it helps



That is where it looks like it is coming from, is it the radiator or something else? thanks to anyone who reads this, i am not really a mechanical genius so any help would be welcome! lol

The picture appears to be the radiator

Is that a hole at the bottom of the rad?
