Radiator Removal

Hi everyone,

I just replaced my timing chain on a 2003 Micra 1.2L. Now about 3 weeks later I have a coolant leak near the left hand bottom support of the radiator. It is not coming from the bottom radiator hose, I even removed it and re-tightened it down.

The only thing I can think of is that the radiator is leaking, I do not see or feel any water around any of the hoses, only trickling down from near the support when the car heats up.

I noticed that the radiator and A/C compressor seems to be one unit, does this mean that I need to depressurize and recover the refrigerant in order to remove the radiator?
