To pinpoint the leak check for a white powdery residue which is what is left behind after the coolant evaporates.
Take a close look at the radiator where the metal core is crimped to the plastic end tank. This is a common leak point on all radiators of this design (VW as well as other manufacturers).

Be aware if you are CBFA you must buy an OEM radiator that has the G611 Radiator Identification Sensor if you want to pass emissions or prevent a constant CEL. The sensor is a small black box that attaches to the front side of the radiator.
