1995 Honda Accord EX, 124,000 miles. I noticed a small crack near the top of my radiator, where radiator fluid has been slowly leaking out for the last two months. The car has never had a problem with overheating since I have owned it. Is there some way to seal it or does the radiator need to be replaced. What can cause a crack to happen and what is a reasonable price for repair?

The radiator needs to be replaced. The tank is plastic and they do crack due to stress and vibration. Replace the whole radiator to avoid further repairs on the same radiator.
