If the radiator cap is leaking, you need a new cap.

no no its comming from under where the 2 peices of metal meet (2 bolts connecting it)

Ok you might wana replace that radiator cap any ways it looks kinda old but the leak might be coming from the thermostat housing you should replace that and see what happens.

Dont replace the thermostat housing, just replace the gasket where it is leaking. And while you are at it, replace the cap also.

EDIT: since you will be removing the housing, go ahead and replace the thermostat at the same time. Gasket=$2 Thermostat= $7 and comes with gasket
