Default 2004 Pacifica Coolant Leak

I've read through a bunch of other forums, and cannot find a coolant leak issue like mine. My 04 Pacifica started losing coolant (at first I thought it was being burnt off), it over heated on my wife twice. I had no visible loss of fluid on my driveway to indicate a leak. The second time it overheated on my wife, I went filled the reservoir, and ran it for a few minutes before I sent her on her way. I noticed a few drips coming from the plastic fairing directly below the cooling fans. I wiped the drips, and had her shut the AC off in the car. The dripping Stopped. I had her turn the AC back on, coolant started leaking a little more steadily from the fairing, say around 15 to 20 drops a minute with the AC on. AC off, leaking slowed, AC on leak increased, now I typically end up with a small stain under the car after driving, ranging from a few drops to a stain about the size of a football. I cannot see any visible crack/leak/damage coming from the radiator. Im at my wits end here as I cannot afford shop repairs, and am just trying to buy time until I head to Alaska for 6 months for work. The radiator was replaced about 2 years ag after my wife was involved in a car accident. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
