Default too hot...radiator

Alright, a few days ago i smelled coolant so i checked my tank and it was empty, i filled it up and the next day it was empty again. My car hasn't been overheating at all, so i figured maybe there's a leak somewhere. i poured some water on the top of the radiator when it was warm and it started bubbling in a tiny spot where the plastic top meets the aluminum. so there's a small hole at the top; sounds like this is a pretty common with honda radiators eh? go figure why they have plastic tops .
Anyways my question is this: is there an easy fix or temporary fix for the hole, or do i need to replace the whole radiator right away? i found a supposedly OEM radiator on www.radiators.com but has anyone out there ever gone through them? just wondering cause they are like half the price of any other ones... ALso, I guess it's ok to drive as long as it doesnt overheat right??? its just a pain to keep fillin it up every other day with coolant. thanks for the help guys-
