Can you tell where it’s leaking? Are you sure the hoses and lines are properly installed? ---

Hi the leaks are not coming from the transmission lines and I can’t see where the antifreeze line is…but when I cleaned the engine off with gunk from all the mess it made so I could try to figure it out …it seems to be coming directly out of the radiator. It didnt drip again until I had my son step on the gas and then on the transmission line side it seemed to come directly down the radiator and drip onto the ground. The fluids are clearly on two seperate sides dripping down and appear to not be cross contaminated.
