your radiator is probably ready for the trash pile.aluminum shrinks over time and temp cycles[usually 7-8yrs]quick easy job for great piece of mind.

The stop leak probably finished it off for good. The passages in the radiator are very small and were probably partially clogged to start with. Adding stop leak probably closed them even more.
