Coolant Leak ID

Hi all. I have been trying to identify a coolant leak on my '07 9-3 2lt. It is a slow leak, with the SID suggesting a need to fill every month or two. It seems to be a little more frequent in the warmer months. I've noticed a small wet area under the very front drivers side at times, but have never seen any drips from the radiator while idling. Then tonight for whatever reason a wet area became apparent. The radiator has a wet spot in the lower driver side corner that clearly created splashback behind it on the subframe while driving.
See pic here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzuvMGTwy_4nZ01GZldwaF9BWm8/edit?usp=docslist_api
I noticed that the passenger side lower corner also has the same wet spot though not nearly as prominent.
I am assuming this means a new radiator, but curious if anyone knows the cause and what is actually failing. Thanks all!
