this guys gotta leak in my upper rad right where the upper coolant pipe connects to what looks liek a black box and then into the rad.

heres a picture u can slightly see the lime green stuffs( i put dye in and did black light test.. this was the only place it showed up. Dye put in and run for 10 miles) . this leak only happens under pressure and about 2qts every 300 miles...

Looks like you need a new rad. Could be a leaking hose, but from the pics it appears to be a cracked/leaking end tank.
