There are many reason for the leaks, either corrosion, freezing, shaking, etc. They can usually be repaired by draining the fluids, then removing the radiator and cleaning the seams, or pin holes areas with a fine wire brush, steel wool, scotch brite or something similar, then re-soldering the area. Another solutiuon would be to take it to a radiator shop where they will dip it to clean the inside well, then repair the seams.

Radiators in most newer cars can't be repaired because of the way they are made(mostly plastic and aluminum. The best way and ONLY way to repair a leaky radiator is to replace it. Repair it and you will be repairing it again and again.
