radiator leaking, cant find solution.

radiator leaking, cant find solution.
I have a 2004 G35 coupe and recently smelt a sweet coolant smell. I opened up the hood and found a spray from the cap towards the front of the engine(the car doesnt leak when the car is off, only when its running and pressurized). I replaced cap and found out that wasnt the problem. I bought a pressure tester and tried to diagnosis the problem. however, its not holding pressure because it appears to just go straight to the overflow hose. anyone know how to use one on the G? lol
The leak appears to be underneath the upper hose, but I want to be sure before replacing the hose.

I would say based on the age of your vehicle go replace the hoses, clamps, thermostat, water pump, coolant flush and belts if you intend to keep your vehicle.
You may also need a radiator.
