Rt side sitting in the Jeep or standing in front of the engine.

Mythbusters showed that you can stop a leak with an Egg but I wouldn't want to put it in a new radiator lol.

Did you use a new radiator or a J/Y one. You may have a warranty if it was a new one.

I assume the leak isn't coming from the hose areas since you can see the leaks..If it's actually coming from the radiator itself and it's new it should be under warranty and I would take it back.
