1995 BMW 5 Series leak from radiator pipe or connection????

Leaks & Noises
We have just replaced the thermostat on our BMW 316 1995 Coupe. We have noticed water and coolant leaking from the radiator area on the passenger side. We suspect that due to the thermostat breaking making the car overheat, the radiator or the pipes/connections have cracked. We can see water coming from the jubilee clip at the bend of the radiator pipe. We wanted some advice on the best ways to find out which part is cracked/broken. (process of elimination)
Any help will be great, Thanks, Trin.

A pressure test on cooling system should show leak .

Thanks for that, not wanting to sound stupid but how do we go about testing the pressure? My partner will probably know but I dont so any info I can pass on to him will be great.
Many Thanks. Trin.
