Re: leaking coolant... from 3 places
dried antifreeze should flouresce under black light. get a high output black flood lamp and a lamp socket with a three pronged plug and shine it up under the car (this will work better at night or in a dark garage) while looking for glowing white spots. if that does not work well then go to the auto parts store and but some uv dye for cooling systems and run the car for a bit after puting the recomended ammount in the radiator; a professional oriented parts store is more likely to carry this stuff. you can also try renting a cooling system pressure tester and look for drips after the system has been pressurized. the good thing about the pressure tester is you can pressurise the cooling system without the engine being hot, and inspect any drips without burnning your hands.

the one circle looks like its up ontop of the radiator. I had a leak coming from the top of my radiator from the seal inside of it, it was pretty slow and would drip onto the fan right below it. If the leak is directly coming from the radiator not any hoses then have it replaced, i have heard bad things about those "stop leak" coolant products.

My 92 Si was leaking from the exact same places (the two spots you have circled) Tried replacing the cap first then having the thing flushed, neither seemed to help, took my car to a local radiator repair shop and had them look at it, turned out the thing had a massive flow problem and needed to be replaced, used that as an excuse to buy a Koyo, problem fixed!
