Got a problem leak near the radiator. cant see where its coming from exactly. It starts when engine starts stops when warm starts again when cooling down. the leak appears to be dripping from the back of rad. checked hoses but they are sound. any ideas?

No i cant get spark plug socket down the hole. it looks like a part of engine or manifold is just slightly over one side of the hole so theres just not enough room for my socket to pass. Im gunna take the manifold off tomorrow & have a look. its seems stupid to have to take it off for 1 plug. I had a mechanic change the chains wonder if hes put everything back as it should be!
