    Have the radiator fixed at a radiator shop. You need a torch to solder it.

    You can solder the leak yourself with solder and a soldering gun. Or try the stop leak (the powdered kind) pour half in the radiator then run it till your engine is more than warm. Still leaking pour the other half. Make sure you run heater while you are driving it.
