Whilst participating in the San Diego Rolling British Car Day today, my car overheated and the radiator sprung a hole (leak) in the top. Please see picture. Can this be repaired or should I get a new radiator? I don't know if the currently installed radiator is a re-cored original or a replacement, but it does have a drain cock on the bottom, and is otherwise in excellent condition.
Thanks.

Easy repair, pull the radiator and take it by your radiator shop and pick up in a few hours.

They will sodder a patch over it. That's all.
 
Thanks for the advice, I took it out and had it repaired, cost $50.

Putting it back in was not quite as easy as taking it out, but I did it and no leaks. It took longer to go back and forth to the radiator shop than removing/installing.
