Radiator/Coolant leak?
I have began to have a coolant leak, and while I wait to pressure test to try and find the exact area its coming from, it seems to be starting from the drivers side top area of the radiator. It looks like it could be from the top hose connection but I removed it and the hose seems to be fine and I tightened it down well and it is still leaking, as the cars temperature rises 90c Im guessing it starts to leak more and more as the pressure rises. Does anyone know the amount of pressure we use to pressure test the 320 motor? Or has anyone experienced a leak from this area? I am hoping its not the radiator its self, but its looking like it may be. I dont have oil in the reservoir tank or anything like that but its has progressively gotten worse and hope someone can help me out!
any help is appreciated, even if it it just the amount of pressure to use while pressure testing! TIA

Pulled the radiator, found a hairline crack down the drivers side edge of the radiator. Buying OEM BEHR Radiator on AutohausAZ for $201. Should be back in business in no time. thanks for all the help! haha
