Yes, my was cracked at bottom, that's a symptom of leak, then when I replaced the radiator, I discovered the top leaked more. So I replace mine with a bug fixed Denso Radiator. The new one have a cut on top to allow metal expand and contract.

where did the top leak from, where the top metal plate goes into the metal on the sides?
can you be a little more specific its hard to tell anything from your picture except that its leaking.

Mine hasn't leaked again since I cleaned it but there was only a small amount of fluid there, really looked more like a spill but now you have me thinking its the beginning of a leak. maybe Ill have to replace the radiator after all.

Thanks again for all of the help and input. It's back now but a noise started to develop that I need to investigate further, it sounds like a whine at idle and up to 2k rpms and then I just hear typical engine noise. It did it a week before the tbelt and then went away the day I took it to Lexus.
