Finland, so I assume driver's side means LHD.

Check your top radiator hose, and its fitting:

The vent hose that runs across the radiator cracks easily. Double check it's not broken and leaking. Don't even touch it unless you want to replace it. It caused a big coolant leak on my car and destroyed my radiator at the same time. The plastic end tanks cracked so I had to replace everything.

If it's the original radiator maybe see if it cracked. The end tanks are plastic and dry rot like everything else. If you take any of the coolant lines off just plan to replace them. The over-engineered fittings literally fuse together. I destroyed the upper rad hose connection taking mine apart. Got lucky on the lower. My radiator created steam (white smoke) and dripped coolant every time I drove. The hoses were fine but the coolant level kept dropping.
