they all do that.  this is a common problem with radiators 
that have plastic caps.  i've never seen a car with this
type of radiator that didn't develop a leak between the 
radiator core and plastic caps eventually.  there's a gasket
between the metal and plastic that deteriorates over time.
a radiator shop can probably repair the radiator, but i've
always just put in a new all-metal radiator.
