Radator leaking... :(

it seems to be a crack in the radator casing.

well right where the fill cap is probably 2 inches lower there is a spewing stream of radator fluid. it seems when im going down hill and its hot so basically under pressure.

what can i do about it i dont have the money for a new radator or something and i know sealers usually clog the waterpump.

so what can i do?

I got a new radiator from radiators.com. Fit perfect and looks to be as good a quality as the original. $121 plus tax and shipping. It came quickly from a local warehouse. Has the fittings for both an A4 and a M6.

A local radiator shop put 2 new plastic casings on mine and flushed it out for about $45

it seems like it is leaking out of the normal seam of the case, (plastic) so i wonder if i could get a radiator shop around here to do that too

probably, double check the prices though, as its been awhile since I had it done.
But I know its cheaper than buying a new radiator.
