g35 radiator leaking ?

2005 g35 automatic 148k miles heres a video of it leaking

figure it's definitely the radiator I could try a new cap but i dont think thats going to fix it what do you guys think?

also in the manual it says
. Disconnect A/T fluid cooler hoses. (A/T models) ● Install blind plug to avoid leakage of A/T fluid.
where do i find the right size blind plug?

I suspect you have a failed radiator, the top crimped on section of a plastic/aluminum radiator is a weak point that's usually the first part to fail.

HOWEVER, you should rent a pressure tester to verify.

thanks for the reply yea I figured it's got to be my radiator since the neck of the radiator right under the cap is completely dry. Its just the seam leaking and there is no where else that the leak could be coming from. Both the radiator hoses are below the seam obviously. So I ordered a denso radiator. do you know about the a/t fluid that they are talking about in the manual? I don't think it's actually the a/t fluid is it?

Looks like coolant in your video. Pressure test can confirm this.

rent an auto parts store pressure tester and see where it leaks from.
