I was able to take the clip off, and reclip it which solved my problem, but it could also be a hairline crack on the radiator itself which would mean replacing the radiator....so I suggest you take off the clip as they sometimes get loose. I didn't have to replace any orings or seals, I was able to just reclip it back on, the link below shows the clip I am talking about.
