ok so i climbed under the truck just now and everything is dry except right there in that pic. It seems like its coming around that rubber boot around that grommet. Should i try some of that radiator stop leak i heard some guys say that stuff is bad news then others think its great so im just not sure what to do i really dont want to replace the rad but if thats the only option i guess i will have to do it.
If your rad is leaking, it would be best to replace it.

you will have to wait till it's at full temp so the presure is up to find the leak, get up to temp then shut it off and start tracing the leak, start at bottom and work your way up till you find it. sometimes its easier to find a leak in the dark using a flashlite, your eyes focus on a smaller area and you can find it easier.

It's not too bad. Mishimoto makes some decent replacement's too for a decent price. They are even a sponsor here too. That or find a good used Ford one. I'd imagine a new one from Ford is $$$
