Default Radiator replacement

I found out where i am losing coolant. Is there anyway to weld the radiator to fix it, or am I better off replacing it? Does anyone have any experience with an aftermarket radiator, the gm replacement is $280 and I can get one online shipped to me for $150. Thanks for the advice!

Some rads can be welded. It mainly depaends on where it is leaking from. If its comming from a water neck, you can.

Mythbusters put an egg in it to stop it from leaking.
