Default Leaking cossie alloy radiator, worth fixing?

Noticed my alloy rad was leaking at the weekend, pretty pissed off tbh, but feelings aside how easy are these to fix?
I don't know anything about radiators, i.e. it looks like there's a big damp patch on it, but not much water coming out of it, is it the core that's leaking or what?

noticed that on mine, i reckon its the welding, so should be too difficult to just clean up and get it redone.

my cars got a very slight leak on it too. pace alloy rad..

if you are able to rip it off the car and take it to a radiator repair company it cuts down the costs quite a bit

as all they do is air pressure test it with bungs via a water tank then solder the leak..its hard to locate the leak when the rads on the car..

but easy as pie in the tank
