Whats the easiest way to find exactly where the leak is coming from?

just get a new radiator or take it to a radiator shop and they can fix it for like 50-60 bucks. maybe less.

Pressuize the system. Easiest way is to drive her till she heats up & follow the spray of water.

Also make sure the metal ties where the radiator hose meets the radiator is tight and at the right location. I remember seeing someone else's car it wasn't.
