If it is leaking where the hose/reducer goes into the radiator there is a new design that eliminates the reducer and solves the problem. (or just tighten it for now)

Thanks guys. I seemed to have narrowed the leak to a hose right above where the headers turn into 1 pipe. Is this the reducer you guys are talking about?

If you are talking about where it goes into the radiator than yes.
