I've used www.radiatorbarn.com before and they were pretty good, not top of the line but if just looking for quick easy replacement, it works.

Depending on how bad the leak is and where it is, I've used the radiator putty with good results. Drove to Michigan and back with no problems.

Have you tried a radiator shop, perhaps they can fix it or replace the core?

I buy a ton of stuff on partstrain.com

If you call and ask them for a price and then say you're gonna "look around for a better price", they ALWAYS give you a discount. Usually about 10% and they throw in free next day shipping...might wanna check them out. Looks like they have radiators starting around $95
