Mine sprung the same leak a few days ago. Going in for service on January 2 — wish I could've done it earlier but this whole week is shutdown.

jaysun: I didn't do it myself. It was accessible through the wheel well. Cost me $300.

I had my left radiator leaked about a week or so ago. FCP Euro had it on sale for $194.89 (Behr, shipped to your door). After ~4hrs of wrenching over the weekend, it's all good again. And yes, burp the cooling system after the replacement. Happy New Year everybody!

Just open (swing-lift up) the burp value (indicated in green arrow in the link below to the picture) while car is cold and drive around until coolant reaches normal temperature. Monitor the level of coolant and add as necessary... and do not drive too hard while doing this. You may have to repeat the drive 2-3 times until coolant level stays level. When done, just close the burp valve.
