Need Advice: Coolant Leak

Sup Guys,

Its been a while since I've posted. Please forgive me if I posted this in the wrong forum but I noticed upon doing a search that topics related to coolant leaks were spread out across the forums. I've recently noticed a small coolant leak under my car. Upon further inspection, it appears to be coming from the radiator. I think it might be a hairline crack somewhere. My coolant level was fine. With that said, is there anything on the market like that I can use that might stop the leak once I pinpoint it? Anyone ever try JB Weld Radiator Repair kit or maybe just regular JB Weld?

Just replace the radiator, Applying any sort of jb weld or epoxy over the crack is foolish. Cracks spread and will just end you in the same spot of replacing radiator later...

It only gets worst here on out until the issue is rectified.
