Well....tonight I removed the wheel and fender liner to inspect....no obvious leaks and held a 15 psi pressure test but corrosion was noted as well as dampness at the top seam where the aluminium meets the plastic part of the LF radiator, about 6" worth. Probably will be removing the bumper cover and replacing left side radiator before summer driving season. I guess its time to start researching options....replace culprit radiator....both sides.....all three hmm.
Research this.

No need to lick smell or rub on your whatever. Left front rad is leaking. Chance of it being something else is really really really low to zero.

Sniff lick rub whatever and hope it ISN'T propylene glycol !? Ahh, no thanks hah!
Surely one can tell when a rad is leaking, no!? Took me about 5 mins. But I hate those a/c condensation puddles, they can create moments of panic lol

And if it IS propylene glycol? Not drinking it, simply tasting and spitting. No biggie, in fact the disposal for that stuff in my area is to pour it down the drain - it breaks down fairly quickly.
