i cant tell where exactly it is comin from
if ne one has had this same thing happen to them let me kno so i kno wat to do next
Check rad hose and clamp ant thermo stat housing again.
Also watch rad a pin hole will sometime blow coolant back on engine.
As said a pressure tester would be next step.
Wash off engine with water and let it dry and then put pressure on rad.
Always check cold and warm and hot.
If it does not show up with pressure on it.
Then go for the coolant dye test.
Good luck
