possible to fix cracked radiator?
the lower mount on my radior caught on the suspension as I was dropping the suspension and made a small 3/4" hairline crack right above the mount. it now leaks (at about half to a fourth of the rate of a water fountain) and I was wondering if it was fixable
The crack is on a flat surface, right above the mount so I can easily put something on it to seal it, but how do I go about sealing it? Can I solder it? what about jb weld?

If it's me, i will replace it new. Radiator is a pressurized system.
If you solder or weld it, it may not be enough. I'd rather be safe than sorry when driving in summer heat and long trips.
