Very unusual for that to leak, most likely the plastic side tank on the radiator has a small crack, known fault due to age and heat, when rad is cold it leaks, when hot the plastic expands and it seals up, you can get replacement radiators off ebay that have metal side tanks

Is it easy job to do ?

Medium. Here's the RAV4 manual says about it: https://www.trav4.net/radiator-545.html

 

I think at the very least you need some hose clamp pliers.
