Go to auto parts store, rent the radiator pump up tool, then clean the top of the tank where it's weeping, with soap and water, inside and out. Gently re crimp the aluminum I have used a socket extension. It just takes a slight tap. There is a large o-ring under it, and more clamping force generally fixes the weeping syndrome. Then fill the cooling system back up, and pump up the radiator to 18 psi and see if it's still weeping...

Total cost of repair: 2 hours of your life... No parts.
