I have a 2001 Honda CRV with 98000 kms on it and recently the expansion tank has been consistently low or empty, even after refilling it, however the engine doesn't overheat at all.
I checked the radiator and I could feel coolant (it felt oily) on the underside of the radiator and there were whitish deposits around the radiator. Therefore I suspect the radiator is the cause of the coolant loss.
So what do you guys suggest me to do; replace the radiator or...?

Your help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
P.s Upper/Lower hoses, pressure cap, AT cooling lines, expansion tank have also been checked. They seem to be in good condition.

I didn't have to look past the first picture. The radiator tank is cracked. You need a new radiator. There are no decisions here.
It also looks like you have been adding water instead of coolant and that will prove to be a fatal error for your cooling system.
