impossible to tell just from pic, look at the rad drain plug, sometimes they start leaking if old or not turned off all the way. Its the screws you turn to drain your rad when doing work on it.

I'm going to guess it's an old hose cracked under the clamp at the connector. Hopefully that is all it is. If it's just a hose, relatively easy fix, but you'll need to drain the radiator first to avoid making a huge mess.

Are you sure that's not an overflow tube? Have you checked fluid level to make sure it's w/in the limits?

Best to have the rad fill tool so you dont end up with air in cooling system.
