radiator story; it is alive
I have mentioned, that I found a leak in my radiator. The leak was on the engine side righ next to the fan. I could reach this place with long thin stick so I have tried to use JD weld. So far it worked fine.
BTW, I fill, like there is a big air buble somewhere in the cooling system. Is there any proper way to remove it? Or I should just drive around and keep an eye on the coolant level.
Thanks everybody for the support.

The bubble will go away if...
you leave the cap off the filler, let the car warm up, etc. The bubble will find its way up to the top, coolant will spill out, etc. After the bubbling, the coolant will be lower, so just add till the whole cycle ends... Worked for me.
Put a tub under the car though, the coolant's messy.
