My radiator is leaking. I replaced the radiator, waterpump, upper and lower hoses. After installing the new radiatorm I noticed it was a little wobbly. Coolant only leaks out after I drive it for a while and then park it. I replaced the radiator cap 2x. it seems like that is where the leak is coming from. But it still hasn't stopped. Any ideas? thanks.
 
What year? Open system, I assume.

It shouldn't be wobbly. Crawl underneath and make sure it's sitting correctly.

You leak may be coming from the little hose just under the cap that leads to the overflow tank. The hose was stretched out, so I cut off about 3/4", re-seated it on the little bung and cranked down the new little clamp. Stopped my leak.
