Smile Vrod and the coolant leak

Ok so I have an 03 VRSCA and I think I have a leak. I have tightened all the hoses, not seeing anymore drips under the bike but when I am sitting at a light I see smoke come from the radiator. I also notice the coolant level going down. Any ideas would be appreciated? Also does the radiator sealer from a car work on a bike?

Happened to a buddy of mine riding vrscf 09. Leaking was somewhere inside the radiator shroud. Turned out to be the plug, which costs very little to replace
