I have a 2017 Volvo company truck with a D13. I've had it since brand new for about 6 and a 1/2 years.. About 2 years into having this truck the radiator was replaced. I've been getting some leaks underneath the radiator in several spots. It only seems to leak when it gets cold overnight. Once everything heats up, the leaks stop.
There are no signs of leakage by the hoses.
Truck has 550,000 mi.
It's about 45゚ outside where I'm at. No signs of leakage. I start the truck up and then I see some leakage on r side under radiator.
But like I said before, after things warm up it stops.

Cooling system should be pressure tested to find out where the leak(s) are coming from. Not uncommon for coolant to leak after a vehicle cools off. Heat expands and can seal some leaks. Leaks underneath the radiator could or could not be coming from the radiator. A coolant leak can start in one place and run down and end up somewhere else.

UPDATE:
Took it to the shop. They replaced the radiator.
The other radiator was installed about 4 years ago. They said that 4 years is actually a long time. I didn't think they needed to get replaced so soon. -
They should, but these new engines run hot. Try to install an engine fan
