I had same issue, there was a hairline crack in the radiator where the air vent attaches.
I bought a new radiator off ebay for around $150.00 and 2 hour install from indy tech

thoroughly dry the area when engine is cold.
let the car reach operating temp and let it run for a few minutes more to make sure thermostat is fully open.
observe area of leakage. you should be able to see where it leaks from. for your setup radiator cracks are common in this area

While I was there I also replaced the alternator. Charging was a little flakey and it was so easy to get to with the radiator out of the way. 2 birds with one stone...
