Am I up for a new radiator?? Help!!!
Hi guys, really need your expert opinion. I have a 2001 Gen 1 CR-V 2.0. Today, I noticed this liquid on my garage floor where the CR-V is usually parked:

So I opened up the hood and found evidence of coolant splash stains around the engine bay:

And I noticed the expansion tank's coolant level is almost down to the minimum level:

Radiator cap is new and doesn't seem to be leaking around this area:

But it does appear there is coolant seeping thru the top of the radiator where it joins to the top cover, as the whole area is moist:

So I'm obviously having a radiator leak...am I up for a new radiator?? Or is there something cheap I can pour in to stop the leak? What could have caused this? My temp gauge in the car isn't showing any overheating, it is still at normal level. Any advice and help appreciated... Thanks!!
