It's probably best to go to a repair shop and get the radiator recored. It's cheaper than a new one and will last as long.

IF you have a radiator problem, you have 4 choices.
1. Add sealant to the fluid (works on pinhole size leaks)
2. Have it rebuilt (cheaper than new if you bring it to them out of the car)
3. Buy new (very expensive!)
4. Replace with a used one from an auto dismantler (best way to go) .
Sealant can stop small leaks, but can also clog the rest of the cooling system. Rebuilding is fine if you can be without your car while your waiting for it, or if you can swap yours for another already rebuilt. Can you afford new? It wont work any better or last much longer! Just go to Pick-A-Part, find your car (or any other with the same radiator) yank it out, fill it with water to check for any obvious leaks, and you just saved alot of time and money by doing it yourself!

Probably need a new or rebuilt radiator, if you're sure the leak is originating at the radiator. Hope you've checked the usual culprits, like the hoses, clamps, fittings and lines? If they're all good, you're looking at a radiator replacement.
