Plastic side or metal side?
if plastic, maybe can use high temperature epoxy.
If metal, a bit tricky if material is aluminum cos thickness of radiator is very thin.
if copper material, then can do copper blazing to repair leak.
Honestly, try to replace if possible cos it might rupture unexpectedly and cause a rapid loss of coolant. Rapid loss of coolant will cause your engine to overheat. You might end up paying more later for an engine overhaul.
bro, so it either RM900 for a radiator or RM3500 for a engine top overhaul. choose wisely.

Workmanship also need to pay la. Might as well sakit 1 time.. otw, I dare not go outstation with your car.
Thermostat le?! Very crucial. Ada 2 biji. But I don't know how to check their condition. When last change thermostats?
The radiator crack also might be due to jam thermostat. If that's not rectified, new radiator will crack also but expansion tank should pecah first la if thermostat jam, unless ur radiator really very nipis liao..
Use wrong coolant also can cause radiator pecah..
No coolant pure water also cannot... I know, very mafan! Performance car ma, what to do!
