Where do I buy the stuff to test where the leak is?

I would check the waterpump. That is unless it you were working around the cooling system and had previously disconnected lines. If they pressure checked the radiator, it is not the problem. BTW, I got a wuote on a new radiator about a month ago. It was ~$150.
check out www.radiatorbarn.com they come with free shipping and a lifetime warantee and our nicely priced. last time i checked it was less than 150.

Just remove it and bring it to a local radiator shop. It cost me only $10. Not worth buying all the shit and doing it yourself. BTW, if you need another radiator, I have another for a 1g. I would have to get it tested though first. PM me if interested.

the dye trick works best for oil and a/c leaks,

use a pressure tester.
wash all the suspected areas clean
pressurize the system to 15psi (don't go any higher than that) and find where the coolant is coming out of.

call around to the auto stores that rent out tools and one of them should have one. be sure to make sure it has the right adaptor to fit on your radiator before you take off from the store, get home, and wonder why it won't work.
