Default 91 se puking antifreeze

Coming out at the front on the passenger side. kind of under the little plastic reservoir. A couple of months ago, all of a sudden i was driving in the city and the gauge showed was way hot. so I stopped, topped up the rad, and it was ok until now. i notice puddles when i stop and shut the car off. What would be the first thing a person would check?

Is the reservoir cracked & leaking?
Bottom end of the radiator itself?
