I'm Curious if this radiator leak can be patched temporarily with some JB weld. I can't see precisely where it's coming from as it appears to be near some sort of resting point for the radiator, or is this some form of bottom bolt that may be loose that needs tightening?

That's the lower rad support...there's a post on the bottom of the rad that fits inside the rubber. No, it can not be tightened.

JB weld is not going to cure well enough with coolant present to seal the hole. Won't take the pressure anyway. Time for a new radiator ;)
