Coolent Leak

i see it leaking from under my car behind the driver side fog light. poped the hood and dont/ cant see anything from up top. snaped a quick pic of it, at work and want to know where to start looking when i get home and what new part i may need.

That's a strange place to find coolant. Can't imagine what's directly above that point that would leak unless it's spewing out of somewhere like the top tank on the radiator or perhaps a leak in the radiator core itself as misterstyx suggests. Run the engine to pressurize the system and have a look with a flashlight to find the source.

i snaped the pic from the oil cooler because that where it is leaking/dripping from, no where else that i can see.
by the looks of the rad. looks stock, doesnt look like it has be replaced. but cant see anything while car is on too, it jus leaks in the same spot. it looks like i have to remove a couple of things first.
