My girl has a 2009 maxima I checked the oil cooler line and It’s not the oil cooler line but some where else leaking coolant and it hasn’t over heated yet
I would check the radiator drain plug to start, then check the whole radiator for leaks, I wouldn't doubt the radiator is done.
after re searching I found out the drain plug is in the same area as where it’s leaking and the weird thing is it only leaks when the car is running so Friday when I’m not at work I’m going to take the bumper off and take it apart see what I find out
It leaks when the car is running because it's under pressure.
so if it’s the drain plug can I be replaced or does the whole radiator need to be replaced and if I find the leak is the radiator itself I will change it out

Drain plug should be able to be replaced, I would get it from the dealer. If it's the radiator, you have to drop the bumper to replace it.
so the bottom of the radiator was leaking right by the drain plug so went to Nissan bought a new radiator, coolant, a new upper bumper support bar because the old one was rusted and upon installing my bother in law hit the ac condenser on its way out an put a hole in it so i installed the radiator and went back to Nissan for a ac condenser and installed that also lol
Lol that's an expensive mistake, is everything all set now?
luckily enough I have a dealership discount with a Nissan dealer in the area so the radiator came out to $130 and the ac condenser came out to $120 and the Nissan coolant was about $20 so it wasn’t too bad but everything is good now. After the winter I’m going to take the car to Nissan to fill up the ac condenser
