Default Rad leak

Hi all
Noticed water dribbling under front drivers side of the car
Checked all hoses -all good

I have read that the main rad splits down the left?
How easy to fit a new one and best place for new one ?

Your help please
Cheers nick

If it's the rad, it's a piece of **** to replace it.

2 bolts on the slam panel and undo the top and bottom hoses.

Looks right to me.

While it's out, Hammerite the new top and bottom fittings on the new one, held on by a bolt at either end.
Replace all bolts with stainless M6 x 25, especially those holding on the fan panel.
Hammerite the fan panel.
Replace the top hose and inspect the bottom hose.

And PLEASE do a search on how to refill without airlocking, since bleeding the system is impossible.
