ok so i have a 2000 frontier with the 4 cyinder and i have had a problem with it overheating for a lil while now. last week the top radiator hose split and overheated again so i replaced it and refilled it. the truck ran great untill today i noticed it leaking from the top of the radiator. it has always leaked somewhere but this is the first time i have ever seen it. my question is why would it leak from between the metal and plastic at the top of the radiator?

Poor seal, age, deterioration. That system has a bleed
screw to remove all the air from the system.
