    Two comments:

    1) my 405 rad had a small leak at the top too, and I fixed it "real
    good" with some GM rad leak compound. It has the Bubba Bo-Dean seal
    of upp-ruvel ;-) Seriously, this yellow powder crap worked quite
    well and did not gum up the heater core unduly. The rad has not
    weeped a tear for 2 years now.

    2) any half-decent rad shop can take apart the aluminium/plastic
    rads, fit new seals and re-crimp them. I had this done some years
    ago in Abbotsford, BC (small town) and the repair was PERFECT. It
    cost about $50 CDN at the time...
