Default coolant Leak from under the drivers side front wing

I have a small drip from the pipes that come out of the radiator which is behind the covers in the wheel arch.

How can I fix it?

Too vague ,,,, please post a picture of the source of the leak.

You can have a leak at the top of the radiator and it will trickle down.

Best way to find the leak is to let the engine cool down and pressurize the radiator. And do not exceed the PSI rating on the radiator cap.
