Great write up! So a few weeks ago after i changed the thermostat on my car i forgot to put the fan shroud back on correctly and my fanblade exploded on it and cut the radiator to expansion tank line. So i changed that line and rebled the system and started the car but i was still leaking coolant but only after the car warmed up. Coolant was flying on the fanblade and flying all around under the hood. Mostly on the driverside. So looking at my radiator it has dents on it so i was thinking maybe a hole in it? Checked the line under the radiator it was intact. The thermostat housing isnt leaking so i was out of ideas? Should i just change the radiator? Or is there some secret line?

It's likely the radiator is damaged. Best way to tell is have it pressure tested to locate the leak. This way you don't replace a part that isn't needed.
