Your seeping coolant is a sign that the plastic end tank on your radiator is about to let go - replace it NOW. On my previous 9000, the tank cracked catastrophically underneath where the upper hose attaches in the parking lot at work - oops! Lucky that I saw the puddle when I got into the car to drive home.
I have had a Chinese all-aluminum radiator in my current 9000 for about five years now and it is holding up just fine - an upgrade to what was in the car when I bought it. Be sure to have a supply of small metric machine screws, as many of the mounting screws that go into plastic on the original radiators have been replaced with machine screws on the aluminum version - I used stainless steel versions in case I ever need to remove them.
There is a review I wrote a couple of years ago at the link.
