I doubt it's a cracked block. If that were the case you would KNOW.
Freeze plug, head gasket, bad lower hose, bad gasket seal on waterpump, etc. I doubt it's anything serious if the engine is running and not overheating. With whatever it is, get some JB weld, dry the leaky area and use a toothpick to get some JB into the leak. I've fixed 2 radiators this way, works great. That fix a leak crap is crap, seriously, flush the system out completely before it clogs up the lower part of your radiator.
I'm usually pretty good at finding leaks. I'm planning on heading down to Ewing either Thursday or Friday evening if you want some help. I'll even bring the JB.
