Default Help! Front Radiator Leak!

Hey Everyone!
New to being a member but I've visited the site every time I've ever had a question, great community here.

I have a 2004 S4 and on the top left side of my radiator (facing the radiator) there appears to be a constant seep of radiator fluid coming down. I just recently had the water pump changed and the leak continues even when the car is off. I've attached some pictures for reference, just want to get some feedback on possible DIY or if I should take her in to get fixed. I've read a lot on how the radiators get clogged and gunked up but I couldn't find anything specific to the front left side leaking.
Thanks,
Adam

NEW UPDATE

Found crack in the plastic right next to the radiator. Should I completely replace the piece or try to seal up the crack there? I'm not sure the amount of the pressure build up that occurs there, would it be worth trying to seal? Thanks
