Coolant leak question

I noticed a small puddle underneath the DS front of the car. Figured it might be the hose than runs from the radiator to the stat. After looking closer, it appears to be the top of the radiator. What's bizarre is that I tried to add some water to the radiator today and it needed none.

 

What's the best option for getting rid of the leak? Replace the entire radiator or just repair the spot. I assume it's in the plastic on the top.

you may be able to have it re-crimped,i it is not the plastic itself that is leaking but where it is joined to the rad itself. i had the same issue with mine. but i decided to buy new and fix the old one as a spare just in case. i have a '91 Z34 with the 3.4 but a rad problem like that is universal and not car/engine specific.
