Default 97 accord radiator

I have a leak and it looks like it is coming from the top of the radiator. The water runs down and collects in a creavis on the fan shield. The top of the radiator has a metal or plastic that runs all along the top. It is held in place by some bent metal. Can I fix my own radiator? I don't want to pay $$$ for a new one.

Anyways it looks to be an easy job to take the radiator out. But once it is out how about fixing it with?

If it is leaking from the plastic part of the radiator, you will have to buy a new one. You should look for one that is fully aluminum to prevent that from happening again.

Default Are Silla radiators any good?

Any experience with a Silla brand radiator. They are all aluminum, but are cheaper than a stock radiator. Too good to be True?
