Question about possible water leak

[Renault_Clio_182]

Hi all just got my 05 plate 182 cup and after my mate dropped it off to me. Was sitting outside foe bout 2 hours an there is massive puddle under car. I look under neath an can see drips coming from radiator area. Any ideas what it could be my mate stored it in his garage an said he never ever had puddle under it. Thanks in advance.

Found leak to be the radiator.

Found leak to be the radiator.

Rad is an easyish job... about an hour and a half and £60ish for a new rad and £15 for 5 litres of type D coolant... I did mine myself for the first time earlier this year using one of the guides on here...

On my ph1 I found the fan shroud was rubbing against the rad. Slowly sawing into it. Had 4 small leaks in a line vertically.
