Think my radiator is leaking?

[Hj172sport]

Hey all , I've got a 172 mk2 ph1 , I went to my car earlier today and as soon as I started to reverse off our drive my wife noticed a pool of water from my passenger side at the front of the car so I stopped got out had a look underneath and couldn't really see owt then I noticed the water bottle was on the min so I topped it up and as the car got warmer the water started to disappear but still nothing was leaking until about 10 min later I was then noticing the water dripping very slowly from the very bottom of the rad

so I'm guessing my rad is knackard ?

is there anything else I can check ?

Can an I upgrade the radiator that's already there ?

any help would be appreciated !

Best way to check what's leaking is a pressure tester kit. Most decent garages will have one to find out if it's your rad or the pipes! just buy a good quality standard unit

I've now taken the radiator out and seems it was leaking at the bottom , so now on the look out for a new rad or an upgraded rad
