I have a 93 3.9, latly iv been noticing it is starting to steam after i turn off the key. Its not over heating caus the guage is 1/4 the way to hot. But finaly i looked and my fan is spraying antifreez on my engine and i cant find where its comeing from. I can see it pooling on the bottom of the radiator and fan shroud but it kinda looks like its leaking from the top. I was just wonderinf if i should try fixing it or just replace it. Thanks for the help

Sorry dude but it will progressively get worse. Trace the leak if possible to eliminate a cap or something simple. It may be the upper tank breaking loose from solder joints or plastic separation. Maybe a pinhole in the core section. Don't throw in the quick fix "Stop Leak", 'cause even if it slows or stops it's temporary. There is no chemical fix for a mechanical problem.
Get radiator shop estimates for repair and recondition vs. new and of course your favorite bone yard price. Pull it.
