unless it's something simple like loose clamps ur not going to be able to fix it urself. that rad has plastic tanks and an aluminum core. when i worked in a rad repair shop, we use epoxy to do minor repairs to leaks in the core. the tanks r replaceable if cracked, and even the gasket if it leaks. if u have a hard time finding where the leak is, take it to a shop for them to pressure test it. that way u can find exactly where the leak is.
