I am not very experienced, only have done minor jobs like spark plugs and alternator. I've been recently loosing coolant. Slowly dripping from the radiator area. I've attached some pictures. Seems to be from that hose that's coming from the radiator, no clue what it is called to be honest. Could anyone give me some pointers of what this could be or the next steps I should take in diagnosing this? I am guessing I should pull the fan and all the plastic shrouds over the radiator to get a better look. Is that correct?
Welcome to the Forum! I would rent a coolant pressure tester from any of your local auto parts places near you and use it to pin point exactly where the coolant is coming out of. Pump up the tester to your coolant system pressure (generally listed on your coolant cap) about 15psi should be enough pressure to show any leaks. It could be the hose, it could be the neck that the hose is connected to or could just be a loose hose clamp.

Let us know what you find.
Well luckily I did some looking and it just seems to be the upper radiator hose. I guess i got lucky that it wasn't anything major. Thanks for the help!
