Robb --

Don't burst your radiator.

I'd bet a cold one (well, maybe a hot one now) that the water pump is leaking. The pump has a weep hole on the underside of the bearing housing—where the shaft is—and when the seal begins to leak a bit, the antifreeze sneaks out there, and creeps down the front of the motor. It is virtually invisible and VERY hard to find.

Sometimes a small mirror, such as a dental mirror, can be very handy.
