Radiator help

I have a 2003 "1800". I noticed the other day that, after letting it idle a little while, there was a small puddle of coolant under the radiator. when checking the bike itself, I found coolant splattered back across the top left side of the frame. I also noticed coolant stains on the front of the radiator fins.

In researching the posts on this site, I have found that most people state that their leaks were due to hose clamps and loose caps. Nothing mentioned anything about coolant on the fins of the radiator, though.

Does this mean that the radiator itself is leaking?

a special tool is required to pressure test, so you might have to take it to a shop or see if anybody around you has one you can borrow, to bad your not close i would just let you borrow mine
