Recommend a good radiator or a fix?
Hi there, I have an 89 pontiac firebird with the 350 engine tpi. Found out today that at the top corner of the radiator (where the hose hooks in) that I have a small crack/hairpin like crack in the radiator and spewing h2o. Since it is at the top, would any Stop Leak (Bars?) fix it or if not, what radiator do you all recommend? Autozone has one for 102 bucks with limited lifetime warranty. Any suggestions/ help would be greatly appreciated.

If your not adding any power, then a stock type radiator is fine.
I don't like to use any stop leak, as it can clog up the radiator, and heater core.
If you have the money get a new radiator.

The stock type replacement will be fine.

TRUE DAT!! The radiator in my '92 RS was leaking at exactly the same spot yours was and I opted to get a new one.Ordered a stock replacement unit from RockAuto for $103.23, freight included.
