Where exactly is it leaking from - i.e. where do you see the coolant?
I had a bunch of coolant pooling at the very bottom of the radiator, near the petcock valve. I figured it was the valve itself, but finally discovered it was the upper radiator hose - the spring clamp wasn't sealing correctly; but it took me a freakin' week or more to finally find it. What a pain.

If it's by a bolt, try using pipe sealant on the threads. Also check for the leak coming from a different location and dripping down or blowing in from the rad.
