Before diving into the radiator - Have you checked the tightness and condition of all of your coolant hoses? Also thoroughly eyeballed your reservoir tank including the bottom?

850 radiator leaks are often in the upper plastic tank and can be difficult to find. My 95 855 GLT's had a subtle crack in the upper tank at the seam on the passenger side. As I remember, that is a common spot for a leak. Another place to check is the neck the where the radiator cap attaches.
