If the leak is a small crack in the radiator itself, you can likely seal it with JB Weld or a similar temperature-resistant epoxy. If it's a large crack, you're better off in the long run replacing the radiator. If it's a split hose, replace the hose - don't try and patch it since it's flexible and under vibration of the engine, you stand to find that the seal will likely fail and you'll start leaking again.
Okay, wipe everything down once it has all cooled down and observe where every and any thing is leaking from and we can go from there.
what engine is in the car?
did you wipe it all down to see if the fluid is trickling down a hose? maybe a freeze plug gone bad?
the freeze plug is a little (bigger than a half dollar) brass, aluminum circle that is located in the block of the engine.
no, you shouldn't have to. but you may need to be looking from the under carriage. you might need to raise the car and get down under looking up.
