GEN 1 Radiator Help!?!?

[Ecromer]

Alright I have a 2013 with 125K. In the morning when it is colder my truck has started leaking on the bottom passenger side of the radiator. It drips very steadily. Then slows to barley leaking whatsoever once it’s warmed up. I’ve checked hoses, does not seem to be any hoses or O rings. I’ve checked the drain plug that on that side. Nothing. It seems to be on the face/bumper side corner. Is my radiator cracked? Just trying to eliminate other ideas before I buy a whole radiator and go through that process.

usually a radiator leaks once its gotten warm and pressure builds up. to have it

That’s the issue. This leaks first thing before warm then stops or slows down greatly.

The side tanks are plastic, either there's a crack or it's just separating at where it's attached to the aluminum.
It's not that bad of a price just to replace if you do the work yourself.
