I was in my 2000 xj at a stand still with the a/c on and I started to smell radiator fluid. I came out of the jeep lifted to hood and seen the antifreeze resouvoir bubbling like crazy spilling out the mad antifreeze
i want to see if you guys can point me in the rite direction
i didn't see the radiator leaking I belive it was spilling all out of the resouvoir tank

New fans indeed are dirt cheap. Both the mechanical and electric fan. If they are original, check them for wear and replace as needed.
Also flush your cooling system to make sure everything is nice and clean
