Fix it?... Hmmmm that's a great idea!!(kidding).
That's the plan can't tell much from top or underneath
Dripping off front crossmember. Just being lazy thought
There might be a likely culprit. Water pump and radiator
Are both fairly new.

Run the car hard. Get the temp way up.
Jack up and look.
Using just a pressure injection cap does not always
work if the leak is on the downhill side of the thermostat.
Sure hope it's not your water pump again.

When cold, put a finger on the bottoms of the hose junctions. I predict one will be wet.
