If it's on the right-hand side ie near/side it maybe the temp sensor, but sorry it could also be the seal between the rad and the plastic pod !!!
If so replace the rad, I know of no sealer that A) you should use but B) will not work.

Do you have aircon or climate?

If so does it only drip with it switched on?

If so it is more than likely water dripping off the evaporator within the ventilation system as it cools the air and in doing so water condenses out of the air.

Perhaps a more somple explanation, as is applicable with my mig..
the washer bottle has a very small hole.
If full up or after a run the water sloshies through the whole and drips for quite a while.

Funny, I noticed this the other day on mine. Got back to the car and noticed water on the road undereneath on left hand side just behind the ns front wheel. Got down and had a look but , although I could see where drip seemed to come from, I dont have the knowledge to know what mightve caused it. Coolant levels and temp guage seemed fine and drives fine. Not had it since. I just put it down to the a/c as Id had that before with another car-tho I cant recall putting the a/c on . Strange. :-/
