That’s because the pulley is covering the hole from that angle but I also don’t see any fluid on the pump which I would’ve expected if it was leaking from the weep hole and blowing around in the engine compartment.
Yeah it looks dry on the bottom too…the only fluid I see under water pump area right above the oil pan is oily and not like coolant. I’ll clean up this area and check again.

Mine did this everytime we'd go on a run. I attached a hose (5/8 I think is what slips over the square molded outlet) to the overflow bottle and routed it down towards the lower control arm. Problem solved. I think the overflow bottle just burps some fluid out at times, which drips antifreeze on the fan pulley and flings it up onto the hood. I don't seem to lose a ton of antifreeze and I top off during oil changes. It's a relatively inexpensive hack and might be worth it just to see if it fixes it.
Not good with posting pictures I take, and upload, download crap. But... I took your photo and it's just a long hose connected to the bottom of this (red box):

My question is if there would be something else that would cause the radiator to start leaking so soon…too much pressure?
Have you had the cooling system pressure tested yet as was previously recommended? This should /could pinpoint the source.
I’m going to ask him to get a Denso brand instead
